Young and exuberant, the Baron Otard VS Cognac is a blend using eaux-de-vie from the first four appellations. While Grande Champagne gives a powerful structure and mineral content, Petite Champagne brings vigour, Borderies a sweet floral note and Fins Bois an abundance of orchard fruits. The minimum age in the blend is three years, with the first six months spent in new barrels to allow the wood to express all its flavor. The Limousin oak chosen for these casks is famous for its rich vanilla notes, which clearly comes through on the nose of this VS Cognac.
The history of Baron Otard Cognac dates back to 1795, when Jean-Baptise Antoine Otard, grandson of the Scottish Baron James Otard, had returned from to France from his exile in England. Jean-Baptise came from a family of winemakers, and was rumored to have developed his own Cognac in exile which he took with him to his hometown in France. Upon his return, he was able to purchase the Royal Chateau in Cognac at auction, saving it from demolition. Here, behind dense stone walls and with a humid microclimate provided by the River Charente, Jean-Baptise launched his own Cognac company, then known as Maison Otard. Today the Chateau is a tourist attraction, but still houses the casks of eau-de-vie which will become Baron Otard Cognac.
This VS expression is presented in the characteristic Baron Otard teardrop bottle. The luxurious appearance is further emphasized with a gold-tone stopper and a premium gift box, underlining the premium status of this brand.
This exuberant VS Cognac is ideal to drink on the rocks, or used in cocktails and aperitifs. Try it with tonic or with a splash of soda - or use it to mix up a Royal Spritz:
Pour the first three ingredients in a large wine glass, fill with ice and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a lemon twist and a mint sprig. Cheers!
I personally visited the house of "Chateau de Cognac" (owned by Bacardi), the producer behind Otard Cognacs. I knew their VSOP and XO and recently tasted the VS, which I believed was outstanding value for money. It's still a VS, but the fruity intense wellbanced taste is exceptional for such a product....
Met een oude traditie die terugleidt naar de Middeleeuwen en tot aan de grote Noorse Viking Ottar, heeft deze Cognac dynastie een ongelofelijk, unieke geschiedenis. Rond dezelfde periode, werd de iconische Chateau de Cognac gebouwd aan de oevers van de Charente en werd deze grotendeels geassocieerd met de Franse monarchie. Deze twee geschiedenissen zouden uiteindelijk samenkomen met de komst van de Cognac Maison Otard, opgericht in 1795. Vandaag is de Chateau de thuis van de Baron Otard Cognac, die behoort tot de meest erkende wat betreft kwaliteit. De elegante druppelflessen zijn het mooie symbool voor de gelijktijdige traditionele en moderne waarden van Cognac Otard.
