Description
Paul Bocuse Réserve Cognac: From Field to Table
The Paul Bocuse Réserve Cognac is a Fine Champagne blend, meaning that it contains a minimum of 50% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, with the rest coming from Petite Champagne. In terms of age, the ‘Réserve’ designation indicates this has been matured similarly to a VSOP - at least four years. The blend of Champagne terroirs, along with the maturation process in French oak, is a timeless approach to Cognac making that we can get behind.
Part of the H Mounier company, Cognac Paul Bocuse was created as a partnership between the esteemed House of Mounier and the celebrated French chef, Paul Bocuse. Using quality eaux-de-vie from both Grande and Petite Champagne, these bottles are somewhat rare today. The late Paul Bocuse was a champion of nouvelle cuisine, a style of French cooking that focused on high-quality fresh ingredients and stunning presentation. In his lifetime, Bocuse was honored with awards like the Légion d'honneur and was named ‘Chef of the Century’ by The Culinary Institute of America. Many of his recipes featured his country’s most famous spirit, so it’s hardly surprising that such a great gourmand would want to adorn a bottle of Cognac with his own name.
Presentation of the Bottle
The classic shape features a wide base gently curving into a tall, slim neck. An image of Paul Bocuse himself adorns the bottle, which is accompanied by a matching gift box.
How to Enjoy Paul Bocuse Réserve Cognac
Take the time to leave this Cognac to rest in your glass before tasting it, and prepare yourself for the moment when you take the first sip. For the best tasting experience, serve at room temperature, or slightly chilled, in a tulip glass. Of course, this is also a wonderful Cognac for seasoned chefs to experiment with in the kitchen.
