The oldest in the range from this small artisanal Cognac house is the Ordonneau Vieille Réserve Cognac. A true Borderies treasure, Ordonneau source all of their eaux-de-vie from the smallest cru of the region. A large number of the eaux-de-vie in this blend are aged between 25 and 30 years, making it an Hors d’Age quality blend. Offering great value for money, it is a mature Cognac with incredible versatility.
The Ordonneau Vieille Reserve is produced by the third generation of wine producers from this artisan house. Their property is made up of 27 hectares of vineyard, and each year they around 3000 hectoliters of wine. The wine then goes on to be distilled on their property in two Charentais alembic stills between the months of November and March.
The Borderies terroir is renowned for producing eaux-de-vie with very specific and rare aromas. The high clay content of the soil gives a full-bodied Cognac with characteristics of violet and dried fruit. They are indeed highly sought after. A deep golden color as you'd expect from an aged blend, this is a bottle that any Cognac lover will be happy to have in their cabinet.
Ordonneau Vieille Reserve is presented in a traditional style cognac bottle with a simple, classic label.
Nose and mouth consistent with apricots, dried fruits, nuts, flowers, and a hint of old Irish pot still whisky. I get pronounced violets, similar to violet candies when I smell it straight from the bottle, but from the glass, I get а flower bouquet I cannot distinguish. Dry and spicy finish on the...
I am pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavours that this cognac offers. Not necessarily spices, but baking flavours that are difficult to identify in any case. An effort that I am happy to make. Highly recommended, go for it!
I am impressed by this stuff every time I drink it. It’s just so clean and direct in its delivery that if you like the flavours it will never disappoint. It’s not hugely complex for a spirit of this age, but the tropical fruit in the flower shop nose is great and way the liquid melts intense fruit...
I really did not want to review this or bring the rating down.But I felt compelled to give my personal experience with this Cognac. In all honestly, this was a 3/10 me. Forgive me but maybe it just personal preferences and I am no connoisseur. The nose is harsh, 2 dimensional and forgettable. It...
On the nose: Fruity biscuit with violets, perfume of sumptuous grapes. Palate: Creamy on the palate, toffee caramel, rock sugar apricot, light pleasantly refreshing sourness, some hints of fruits like ripe greengage, a little bit charred vanilla coming up in between, hints of gooseberries, a glimpse...
Had to wait a little after pouring to enjoy the aromas. Good aromas of violets, dried fruits, apricots, oak and sawdust. Taste very mild. Less spicy. Very little acidity or bitterness, mainly juicy grape sweetness. The mouthfeel is very smooth, with no unpleasant or cloying tastes. Short, sweet...
This cognac has lovely hues of a blend of orange and mahogany. The nose has a floral aroma of white flowers, with a bit of leather and cherry. The mouth feel is good and the finish is extremely smooth. This cognac is a very easy drink, no bumps or bruises, just a very easily consumed tipple.
The house of Ordonneau Cognac consists of an estate and vineyards located completely in the Borderies terroir of the region, in the village of Cherves Richemont. This small, family producer is housed in a typical Charantais estate known as Domaine de la Grolette, with vineyards covering 27 hectares. They harvest around 3,000 hectolitres of wine on an annual basis, and every aspect of the production process takes place in and around the family estate.
