Wanting to respect the French tradition of classifying their cognacs, the Pasquet family decided against using the export-oriented terms such as VS, VSOP, and XO. This blend was made with cognacs aged for a minimum of 7 years and as such the family’s version of a VSOP. The complexity and richness are immediately noticeable in the aroma with charming scents of white flowers and white fruit. There is a supple attack on the palate leading into a well-structured composition of fruits and oak with notes of grapefruit and pears. The finish is pleasantly peppery.

Aromas of honey leap from the glass over stewed apricots with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. A light and silky entry quickly builds into a sensational semi-sweet burst of fresh apricot and spice carried by gently warming spirit. Seamlessly integrated and perfectly balanced with excellent palate length. Finishes clean, drying and refreshingly grapey. A superb drink!
