The Painturaud Frères Duo VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac is a versatile Cognac produced from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested on the J. Painturaud estate in the Premier Cru and matured for at least four years in French oak. Truly delicate for its age, this shows balance and complexity way beyond its years. We imagine it will appeal to those who enjoy fruity, flowery aromas from their Cognac, with the choice as to whether or not to enjoy it neat, or perhaps in a more adventurous manner. 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 minimalist shape and simple appearance, with clean lines and a deep blue label decorated with gold details.
This VSOP expression certainly works as a traditional digestif - perhaps warmed in the hand for a few minutes before enjoying its aromas and flavor - but it also lends itself well on the rock as the perfect aperitif. Alternatively, try it with ginger ale or tonic to create a long drink on a summer's day. Whichever way you choose to drink it, this is a Cognac that appeals to all palates and makes a great staple for your drinks cabinet.
Located near Segonzac, in the very heart of Premier Cru Grande Champagne country, Painturaud Frères Cognac has a history that can be traced back to the end of the 1800s. With 40 hectares of vines planted over rolling hillsides, the main crop is composed of the Ugni Blanc grape, with a smattering of Colombard and Montils. They also grow a small amount of red grapes – Merlot and Cabernet Franc – for production of red Pineaux des Charentes.
