Baron Otard VSOP Limited Edition

Baron Otard VSOP Limited Edition Cognac: Gold-Topped Brilliance

Rich and multifaceted, the Baron Otard VSOP Limited Edition Cognac is a blend aged far beyond the standard requirements for a Very Superior Old Pale. Having spent an average of eight to ten years in the lower vault of the grandiose Château de Cognac, this expression has developed sweet aromas of orchard fruits lined with hints of tobacco leaf. With a full-bodied nose, great finesse and a good length on the palate, this is a Cognac to enjoy time and time again.

The history of Baron Otard Cognac dates back to 1795, when Jean-Baptise Antoine Otard, grandson of the Scottish Baron James Otard, had returned from to France from his exile in England. Jean-Baptise came from a family of winemakers, and was rumored to have developed his own Cognac in exile which he took with him to his hometown in France. Upon his return, he was able to purchase the Royal Chateau in Cognac at auction, saving it from demolition. Here, behind dense stone walls and with a humid microclimate provided by the River Charente, Jean-Baptise launched his own Cognac company, then known as Maison Otard. Today the Chateau is a tourist attraction, but still houses the casks of eau-de-vie which will become Baron Otard Cognac. 

Presentation of the Bottle

This VSOP expression is presented in the characteristic Baron Otard teardrop bottle. The luxurious appearance is further emphasized with a gold-tone stopper and a premium gift box, underlining the premium status of this brand.
