The Painturaud Frères Vieille Réserve Grande Champagne Cognac is an excellent, well-aged blend with the youngest eaux-de-vie clocking in at around 20 years of age. Produced from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested on the J. Painturaud estate in the Premier Cru, this shows some intense aromas followed by a complex and rich palate - typical of mature Cognacs from this region. The House of Painturaud Frères is a prime example of how the smaller houses really bring unique Cognacs to market that offer exceedingly good value for money.
Maison Painturaud Frères really came to life in 1934, following the great phylloxera crisis, when Guy Painturaud began marketing his own Cognacs and Pineaux des Charentes under the family name. Since 2010, the son of Guy Painturaud (Jaques) has passed the baton on to his own sons. Today, the quartet Jean-Phillipe, Vincent, Matthieu and Emmanuel represent the 4th generation of family tradition and Cognac expertise. The brand embodies everything that is great about the prestigious Grande Champagne terroir, and you can expect nothing less than a careful curation of top-of-the-range, quality Cognac products.
The bottle features a modern shape and stylistic appearance, with clean lines and a white label decorated in gold to match the foil on the neck. A great Cognac to add to your collection, or one that will be well-received by any lover of fine artisan spirits.
This wonderful Premier Cru expression is best enjoyed neat or with a dash of water to further open up its complex tasting profile. Pour into a tulip glass and leave to rest at room temperature for 30 seconds or so, allowing the aromas to fully develop before taking a sip.
I was digging the black packaging of the bottle it came in, very classy! Had a sweet, caramel-like nose. Coats the mouth with a silky, buttery smooth feel to it. It was kinda amazing! Never had a cognac feel like this. Heavy spice, faint sweetness, and a little bit of vanilla. Definitely worth...
