Description

Maison Coquard-Thomas VSOP Cognac: Structured and Spicy

Well-structured and mature, the Maison Coquard-Thomas VSOP Cognac has been aged between five and eight years. This VSOP blend works equally well on its own as it does in cocktails, particularly those with a citrus element. The grapes used for this blend are a combination of Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche varieties, giving a wonderful depth of flavor and complexity in the final product. The grapes have been harvested from one estate, characterized by chalky, thin soil laced with limestone. Traditionally double distilled and matured only in French oak barrels, this expression is sure to become a modern classic. 

Maison Coquart-Thomas is the crowdfunded brainchild of Claire Coquard-Thomas, who after spending her career working in the wine trade decided to branch out into spirits. MCT Spirits launches modern-look brands intended to meet modern consumers' expectations: authentic, local products, around which people can meet to pass good times with family and friends. 

In Claire’s own words: “Cognac is a contemporary drink and I decided it was the right time for me to do something different and face new challenges. I was born in Beaujolais, I married a Charentais, I have been working for almost 20 years on the international stage and it was time to create and launch this Cognac brand... A great discovery, a local product, easy to share with friends and family, and a great base for wonderful cocktails!”

Presentation of the Bottle

Tall and slim with a long neck, the bottle has a wonderfully contemporary look that highlights its modern brand story. Copper lettering printed on the bottle - with matching foil on the neck - allows the color of the liquid inside to shine through. 

How to Enjoy Maison Coquard-Thomas VSOP Cognac

While we often recommend drinking Cognac neat, this particular VSOP is the perfect base for aperitif cocktails: think a Sidecar, or even a zesty spritz, with its spice and apricot aromas pairing wonderfully with citrus. It would also make an excellent companion during dinner, served in tulip glasses at room temperature - or slightly chilled.
