Description
A Réserve Cognac aged 7-10 years from the Grande Champagne
Artisanal through and through, this Méry Melrose Grande Champagne Réserve Cognac has some incredible traits. Impressive and rich, the notes of candied fruit and full body are undeniable. It is a fine blend of eaux-de-vie between 7 and 10 years old. Double distilled in a traditional Charentais Copper pot still, François Méry draws upon generations of savoir-faire from his ancestors to present this fine Reserve Cognac. Bottled to order, he ensures a wholesome and responsible process of enjoying Cognac from the vine to the bottle. It contains Cognac from the Premier Cru, and organic cane sugar syrup.
Available in a limited quantity, it is a precious spirit and an incredible aged expression of the Grande Champagne terroir. Due to its chalky soil and maritime climate, the eaux-de-vie descending from this cru is truly exceptional.
Méry Melrose Reserve Cognac decanter
The label and presentation of the Méry Melrose Ancestral is a tribute to generations of savoir-faire. The distinctive design is influenced by prehistoric paintings that can be found on the walls of caves in France. These markings date back 18,000 years, when animals and man lived in harmony together. Méry Melrose is everything that an organic producer should represent in the 21st century.
The bottle for the Melrose Reserve Cognac features an etching of a bison, and is a 70cl bottle, proofed at 40% ABV.
How to enjoy the Reserve Cognac by Méry Melrose
Assembled to enjoy neat, or with your favorite cocktail. The Méry Melrose story Described as both ‘farmer and artist’, Master Blender Francois and Janis Méry created the Cognac brand after being inspired by their love for each other; the rose represents love for their family and craft. They are organic growers, and viticulturists. Francois is a fourth generation Cognac distiller, and has both tradition and his modern innovation to thank.
As a young man, he traveled to Australia to work for an independent biodynamic wine producer, and felt inspired to bring his ideas back to France. The process takes place at the Maison from start to finish; from harvesting the organic grapes, to distilling and blending. The aging process takes place in their family cellars; the Cognac aging in both old and new Limousin oak barrels of 400-liter capacity
