The color is a beautiful dark mahogany gloss with amber highlights.
An astonishing bouquet of aromas: touches of white flowers between acacia honey, apple and peach blossom, cinnamon, pear and violet on the first attack followed by more assertive aromas such as spices (grey and black pepper), liquorice, nutmeg, candied fig, clove with a strong finish of leather and coffee/cocoa variations.
The perfect nectar to share with old time friends after a meal ending with a chocolate dessert or coffee éclairs and a Darjeeling tea (flavored with bergamot?) or a grand cru coffee with a few swirls of Montecristo or Cohiba. Réserve Aristide is a meditation cognac with a very broad aromatic structure. Take your time to fully enjoy it and to reveal itself completely.
At the start of its ageing, the eaux-de-vie pass quickly through new barrels to preserve their natural aromatics. They will then be removed in an old barrel to continue their aging in a humid cellar, which promotes roundness and accentuates the notes of rancios.
With its ABV of 50%, the reduction of eaux-de-vie is favored in a natural way. This high degree provides a more accomplished taste experience as well as a better perception of aromas. This cognac contains no additives, sugar, or caramel. Only light filtration is carried out to preserve its aromatic qualities as much as possible.
OLFACTORY NOTES
An incredible palette of aromas emerges in several successive waves. Spices, cooked peaches, black pepper, liquorice, fig, nutmeg, clove, honey, violet and marzipan.
TASTING NOTES
Impressive length in the mouth and very long finish. This blend is a mix of more than 50 years old eaux-de-vie with and without lees, sourced only from the most prestigious terroir of Grande Champagne.
The perfect balance of finesse and elegance. It is “Brut de fût” at 50% volume. A very rare ecstasy.
