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.
