Reviewed November 7, 2020 (edited March 8, 2022)A Grande Champagne Cru cognac made from folle blanche grapes instead of the typical ugni blanc variety used in most cognacs. Found at a small wine store in Paris that would best be described as “Dickensian”. Not sure about the age on this one but the Dudognon website has it marked as one of their younger offerings. Nose: Fresh and fruity. The fruit bouquet overwhelms the nose at first and then gives way to vanilla. After a few minutes in the glass a flowers like tulip are present. Palate: Vanilla is the most prominent, along with a floral note. A little bit of spice also shows up at the back of the tongue. The fruitiness is there the entire time guiding the palate. Finish: The finish doesn’t last very long, but it is pleasant with notes of vanilla, nuts, and a touch of oak. Certainly not your average cognac! Much less sweet and much more floral that offerings from the big 5 houses. The abv at 42% instead of the usual 40% definitely makes each taste more enjoyable. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a cognac completely different from what you may be used to. À Votre Santé!50.0 EUR per Bottle
