Description
It's a girl! The Raymond Ragnaud VSOP Reserve Stefany Cognac was the first creation of the cognac house. A wonderful Grande Champagne offering, this VSOP quality cognac contains eaux-de-vie that have been aged for 7 years, and has been made in the traditional manner that the house continues to use to this day.
As you'd expect by the name, this is a feminine tasting cognac - there's no agression here. Delicate and sublime. Beautifully presented in an almost decanter style bottle and presentation box - this would make a wonderful present for any lover of cognac (or a present to yourself...).
Enjoy Stefany in many different ways: neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or even with a mixer to create a cooling drink on a hot summers day...

Tasting review by Landy Cognac:
Fiery amber color. A mellow cognac, long and pleasantly lingering on the palate. Smooth vanilla and ripe fruit flavors rounded by oakier notes.
