A.E. Dor Cognac Legend 0,7 L 40%

AE Dor Cognac Pur Cru 0.5L 40% The history of AE Dor cognac Viteus vitifoliae, better known as phylloxera, is a pest that was first discovered in French vineyards in 1863. Well-known researchers such as Louis Pasteur tried to put a stop to phylloxera, but they only succeeded when it was already too late. Phylloxera infected almost every vineyard in France and destroyed almost the entire vineyard area in the country. Later, local vines were planted with rootstocks from America, making them resistant to the pests. Although wine could be grown again from then on, it and the cognac distilled from it tasted different than before the phylloxera catastrophe. As a result, demand for pre-phylloxera cognacs increased enormously and became a scarce commodity. Fortunately, the wealthy Amédée-Edouard DOR recognized this early on and began to collect the best qualities of the "old" Cognacs. He concentrated in particular on spirits from the "Grande Champagne", which were already considered exceptionally good at the time. Over the years, Amédée-Edouard DOR was able to secure large quantities of pre-phylloxera Cognacs, which his employees then stored in oak barrels for up to 70 years. When the spirits had finally reached the perfect maturity, they were transferred to glass balloons (Demi-Johns) and sealed with wax. The Demi-Johns are stored in the "Paradise", a special maturing cellar, of the AE Dor house and some are still bottled today for the best spirits from AE Dor. The production of the AE Dor Cognac Pur Cru The AE Dor Cognac Pur Cru is without question a special Cognac. The AE Dor Cognac Pur Cru is made exclusively from Fins Bois Cognacs.
