Prince Hubert de Polignac Extra Cognac

Prince Hubert de Polignac Extra Cognac: Stand Out From the Rest

The Prince Hubert de Polignac Extra Cognac is an award-winning, 'extra' quality blend made solely from eaux-de-vie grown in the Premier Cru of the Cognac region - Grande Champagne.  This blend of very old eaux-de-vie aged in Limousin oak has led to an extraordinarily mellow Cognac, one that truly has to be tasted to be believed. As one would expect, it delights with a rich taste of rancio, only found when the barrels have been allowed to work their magic for many years in a dark Charentais cellar.

Prince de Polignac Cognac is named after one of France's oldest noble families, members of which include Cardinal De Polignac (French ambassador in Poland and Rome in the 17th century), Countess Yolande de Polignac - a personal friend of Marie Antoinette - and Prince Jules de Polignac, a cabinet minister under Charles X. It was their descendant, Prince Hubert de Polignac, who eventually allowed the Cognac producer Mounier to use his name for one of their bottlings in 1947. After the trademark was registered, the Prince himself took to travelling the world to promote the brand, sealing its association with royalty, adventure and luxury.

Presentation of the Bottle

The stunning and detailed decanter features flowing, curved lines and an imposing gold neck and stopper. On the front, a garland of fleur-de-lis moulded in the glass surrounds the intricate gold-detailed label. The black and gold box opens like the curtains on a stage, revealing a bottle standing in the center. This is not a Cognac that aims to be forgotten!
