Eye: Reddish amber.

Nose: A rancio perfume in the eaux-de-vie, from its long time spent in oak casks. The smells evoke leather, vanilla, lime blossom and spice.

Palate: A remarkably lengthy finish, and a softer taste at the end. Honeyish notes come through. Overall very smooth.

Growth area & soil: Fine Champagne

Description

Vallein Tercinier Pyramide XO Cognac from the Fine Champagne 

The eaux-de-vie of this exclusive Cognac are halved perfectly between the two most prestigious terroirs in the region; the Grande Champagne and the Petite Champagne. The Vallein Tercinier Pyramide Extra Old Cognac is style and grace, and everything that you could want from a Fine Champagne XO; that is, a fabulous finish. It is an affordable Cognac for its quality, and already caught the attention of critics across the board. Aged for 35 years, this Extra Old Cognac has been matured with the utmost expertise in oak casks. Blended by the Maitre de Chai, this Pyramide Extra Old certainly delivers. It arrives in a stunning pyramid shaped decanter; uniquely shaped, it is a beauty to add to your drinks cabinet. The geometric delicacy of this decanter perfectly matches its status as a Fine Champagne Cognac - utterly refined.

Descending from the Domaine des Forges, the Pyramide XO Cognac is a result of over 500 years of Cognac making heritage; passed down from generation to generation. Established in 1850, the Vallein Tercinier family have occupied an enviable position on the estate in Chermignac. The family have embraced the onset of modernity; adapting centuries-old methodology and bringing it to the future.

How to enjoy

An Extra Old Cognac of this quality is best enjoyed on ice or neat. If you’re having it over ice, make sure to use a large tumbler glass with two ice cubes.

About Vallein Tercinier Cognac

With over 500 years of history, the artisan house of Vallein Tercinier is one that deserves the attention of all Cognac lovers – from those new to eaux-de-vie to the connoisseur. This brother and sister team bring an expertise to craft Cognac that's just aching to be discovered.

Many of their Cognac's have been awarded top class awards in many industry competitions, and this has meant a growing awareness of their products in some quarters. But, as with the aging process of Cognac, such a small craft brand is often lost amongst the noise razzmatazz of the 'big boys'. And that really is a crime, because as many esteemed connoiseurs are finding out, the offerings of Vallein Tercinier are of superb quality, unique, and once you've discovered them, will become a 'must have' brand to always have in your drinks cabinet.

Catherine and Louis are very proud to have stepped into the shoes of their many ancestors. And as is in keeping with family tradition, the've continued to move the company forward, whilst remaining true to the pure art of Cognac production. They've adapted the facilities to take full advantage of modern technology, and continue to produce some very special Cognacs indeed.
