I have been blindtasting wine on a regular basis with a group of friends for mor than thirty years and got more and more fascinated by spirits during the last five years. After exploring r(h)ums and whisk(e)y I finally got into Armagnac and Cognac. I am happy to be able to continue this interesting journey.

French wine, and the concept of terroir, captured my interest early on. Naturally, curiosity took me to spirits, in particular Cognac. Today I'm proud to be a member of the Cognac Expert team managing B2B projects, working on Cognac Expert Originals, and writing bottle reviews for the English Blog. I love to taste anything and everything - rum/rhum, whisky(ey), Armagnac, etc. - but no other spirit grabs my attention quite like Cognac, and all of its subtleties and nuance. Santé !
I have a passion and love for all spirits, but particularly world brandy and world whisk(e)y. The great people at Cognac-Expert have greatly increased my exposure to not only more Cognac, but smaller producers who are doing phenomenal things!! Love you all!! Cheers!!

After decades of drinking lots of whisky and not enough cognac, I have spent the last few years drinking quite a lot of both (and some Armagnac and Calvados too). I don’t look for whisky substitutes or comparisons in cognac, they are quite different spirits and should be treated as such. Both are magnificent I think.

A Superb Vintage Calvados with Exceptional Fruit Character
This 1993 vintage Calvados showcases the elegance and complexity that long maturation can bring to apple brandy. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing baked apples, dried orchard fruits, honey, vanilla, and subtle oak spices. On the palate, it combines richness with remarkable freshness, offe...
Baron Gaston Legrand 1986/2026 (47.1%, Grape of the Art, Bas-Armagnac, cask #32)
Colour: full gold. Nose: peaches in syrup, milk chocolate, very gentle honeys, herbal teas, touches of exotic fruit; more cognac-like elegance than extravagance. Mouth: excellent, once again a little cognac-esque, with green tea, apple and peach peelings, herbal teas, then increasingly buds, leav...
Unique Rustic Profile
Noes: upfront some glue, varnish, then overripe pears and yellow apples, followed by vanilla and all kind of orchard fruits like peach, apricot and mirabelle plum. A distinctive winey note (both aged orange and sweet wines). Deep and fresh at the same time. Very unique nose which I happen to ador...
Great young brandy
Elegant and fresh, with flowers first, then ripe green and yellow apples. The palate is smooth but properly structured: crisp apple acidity, with some nice bitterness . Still young and clean, a very good introduction for everyone to Pays d’Auge Calvados character overall The 42 ABV provides ...
