This rare and limited-edition Cognac is a tribute to Ludovic’s father, honoring the tradition of single blends once crafted but never bottled by previous generations. Before Ludovic’s arrival, Cognac was distilled and aged but often sold to the big houses without being blended into a final expression. Now, this special release captures the essence of one of his father’s personal “coupes,” matured for over 35 years and bottled as an homage to a family legacy.
Crafted exclusively from Fins Bois eaux-de-vie, this Cognac has undergone additional aging of more than 20 years in oak casks, allowing it to achieve perfect harmony. The result is a bold, unchill-filtered spirit with remarkable depth, power, and finesse.
The nose is immediately captivating, offering an intricate mix of dried fruits, licorice, and hints of leather. Roasted nuts and warm spices add complexity, while the extended aging imparts a rich, gourmand oakiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, revealing layers of aged oak, dark chocolate, and caramelized fruit. The rancio is pronounced, deepening the experience with nuances of tobacco and exotic spice.
The finish is exceptionally long and structured, leaving behind lingering notes of licorice, nutmeg, and fine leather. This Cognac is both bold and refined, making it a prized digestif for those who appreciate a powerful and mature expression.
Bottled in a striking, limited-edition design, the Father’s Blend stands out with its deep mahogany hue and elegant label. The packaging reflects both its history and exclusivity, making it a collector’s piece for enthusiasts of aged Cognac.
To fully appreciate its complexity, this Cognac should be enjoyed neat in a tulip glass at room temperature. Allowing it to breathe will unlock its full spectrum of aromas and flavors. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or a fine cigar, enhancing its deep and layered character.
This Egreteau Father’s Blend is a superb cognac, with a nose to die for. On the other hand, the palate, despite being really good, struggles to reach as high a level as the nose. This might be because of the reduction to 40% ABV, which, in my humble opinion, did a disservice to both the intensity...
Smooth, round, long on the palate, with notes of spice and chocolate, this is the ideal cognac to enjoy during the holiday season. I am very pleased with this discovery. Original Review: Doux, rond, long en bouche, note d'épice, de chocolat, un cognac idéal à déguster pour les fêtes de fin...
