Cognac Dudognon Grande Champagne, Reserve 10 year

The Dudognon family has been crafting exceptional Cognac from their estate in the heart of Grande Champagne since 1776, maintaining traditional wood-fired distillation methods. This Reserve 10 Year represents their commitment to purity—aged entirely in Limousin oak with no additives save water, allowing the natural fruit character to shine through. A pristine expression from one of Cognac's most revered terroirs.

Tasting Notes

Apple, toffee and spice on the nose, leading to a soft, warm palate with notes of fresh apricot, plum, stone fruit, vanilla, and honeyed clover. The texture is light, lean, and delicate with baking spices adding complexity. The finish is long and delicate with a gentle touch of spice, showcasing the natural concentration of fruit without artificial enhancement.
