Description

Le Cinquantenaire de Gilles Merlet Cognac Limited Edition

Le Cinquantenaire de Gilles Merlet Cognac Limited Edition is a specially designed Cognac for the Jubilee celebration. It was made especially for Gilles Merlet's Jubilee and his fifty years at the helm of the distillery. It is a symbol of the transmission between him and his two sons Pierre and Luc. This Cognac marks the nod to the first Cognac produced under the Merlet brand, Brothers Blend, which the three of them created together in 2010.

Le Cinquantenaire is the blending base for Brothers Blend, but slightly reduced over several months, not cold-filtered and with no additives. In short, Brothers Blend “brut”.

Brothers Blend is a blend of 4 to 10 years old, mostly Fins Bois, with a touch of Fine Champagne. This exclusive edition showcases the aromatic richness and depth of flavor that have become synonymous with the Merlet name, making it a perfect choice for the most discerning connoisseurs with only 500 bottles availble.

This Cognac offers an elegant and vibrant sensory experience. On the nose, you'll encounter a bouquet of candied apricot, quince, and delicate white flowers, interwoven with the warm spices of cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is equally captivating, revealing delicate notes of white fruit, particularly peach and apricot, complemented by subtle oak nuances. The result is a supple, well-balanced Cognac with a pleasantly long finish, perfect for savoring during special occasions.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Le Cinquantenaire de Gilles Merlet is a testament to the Merlet family's dedication to producing Cognacs of the highest quality. Whether you're adding to your collection or searching for an exceptional gift, this limited edition is a remarkable choice.

Presentation of the Bottle

Le Cinquantenaire de Gilles Merlet Cognac Limited Edition is presented in an elegant and simple bottle that reflects the sophistication and quality of the Cognac within. Its classic design and black wax, combined with the golden hue of the spirit, makes it a standout addition to any collection.

How to Drink

This Cognac is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its complex aromas and flavors. For those who prefer a slightly cooler experience, a single ice cube can be added to gently open up the spirit without diluting its richness. Ideal for special occasions or as a distinguished after-dinner drink, Le Cinquantenaire de Gilles Merlet offers a truly memorable tasting experience.

About Merlet Cognac

With a traceable history dating back to 1850, the Merlet family have continued to produce cognac, alongside a continually growing range of other products, to the current day. Headed today by Gilles Merlet, his sons Pierre and Luc joined the business a few years back, bringing with them a new generation of enthusiasm and direction. Although the house Distillerie Merlet & Fils originally produced eaux-de-vie for some of the most prestigious cognac houses in the world of cognac, they are now famous in their own right, not only for their quality cognacs, but for their innovative range of other products that sell around the globe.
