Eye: Bright, clear amber-orange color.

Nose: A tapestry of complexity; fruity with evocative greed through notes of figs, almonds, and citrus. An intriguing salinity reminiscent of caramel with fleur de sel. A hint of smokiness enriches the bouquet.

Palate: A delightful freshness with an oceanic impression, akin to a liqueur without excessive sweetness. The rancio from oak aging adds depth and complexity.

Finish: Very fine, leaving a lasting impression that is surprising and superb in equal measure.

Description

Normandin Mercier Petite Champagne Ocean VSOP Cognac

Experience the unparalleled magic of underwater aging with the Normandin Mercier Petite Champagne VSOP Cognac. This unique Cognac undergoes a traditional maturation process for seven years in Normandin Mercier's cellars before embarking on a groundbreaking journey. Four microbarrels are submerged in the Iroise Sea, undergoing an additional year of aging underwater. This innovative approach not only perfects its character but also imbues the Cognac with a breathtaking complexity and unparalleled freshness.

Limited to a numbered series from 1 to 10, this VSOP Petite Champagne Cognac is a treasure trove of sensory delights. From its bright, clear amber-orange hue to the intricate layers of fruit, almond, citrus, and a subtle hint of smokiness on the nose, each sip reveals a fresh, oceanic impression with just the right touch of sweetness and a deeply satisfying rancio finish.
