A.E. Dor Cognac Pur Cru, 0,5 L, 40%

AE Dor Cognac Embleme 0.7L 40% The history of AE Dor Cognac It was in 1863 that phylloxera (Viteus vitifoliae) was first spotted in the vineyards of France. The effects on the French wine and cognac industry were devastating. A large part of the vineyards were destroyed and had to be planted with grape varieties that were planted with so-called rootstocks from America. Although the phylloxera catastrophe was contained in this way, the taste of the wine and cognac changed. The old qualities were in great demand at the time because they were irreplaceable in this form. One man who recognized this early on was Amédée-Edouard DOR, who began buying up old stocks on a larger scale. He concentrated on the best qualities from the "Grande Champagne" and his stocks of pre-phylloxera Cognacs soon became among the largest in the Cognac region. The AE Dor house allowed the treasures collected by Amédée-Edouard DOR to mature for up to 70 years in barrels made of the best oak and then filled them into demi-johns (glass balloons) that were sealed with wax. These exquisite demi-johns are stored in a special cellar, the "Paradise", and are still blended into the best Cognacs from AE Dor today. The production of the AE Dor Cognac Embleme AE Dor often bottles a special edition for special occasions. The AE Dor Cognac Embleme is just such a special edition. The AE Dor Cognac Embleme was bottled to mark the company's 150th anniversary and is intended to represent the variety of flavors of this great cognac house. The AE Dor Cognac Embleme is a blend of the best cognacs from the Grande Champagne and the Fins Bois. The individual cognacs for the AE Dor Cognac Embleme matured for many years in the cellar of the house in Jarnac. After the cellar master has recognized that the cognacs are optimal, they are masterfully blended to create the AE Dor Cognac Embleme. The AE Dor Cognac Embleme is bottled in rare and visually very successful bottles. The taste of the AE Dor Cognac Embleme The taste of the AE Dor Cognac Embleme is unique.

AE Dor Cognac Legend 0.7 L 40% History and production of AE Dor Cognac Legend: The founder of the traditional house AE Dor, famous for its outstanding cognac, Amédée-Edouard Dor, came from a long-established family that had been active in the wine-growing and cognac sectors for centuries. Thanks to his keen instinct and great expertise, Amédée-Edouard was able to save the family's legacy through difficult times and into modern times. In the 19th century, the wine-growing regions of France fell victim to a series of devastating disasters. Around 1845, mildew, native to North America, came to Europe. The ascomycete raged uncontrollably and destroyed a large part of the harvest. Just as many vines had been replaced by American, mildew-resistant varieties, the voracious phylloxera was introduced. This wine pest spread like wildfire and affected almost all French wine regions. The phenomenon, known as the phylloxera invasion, destroyed over 86% of the cultivated areas and thus the livelihoods of many winegrowers. The Dor family also had to overcome many setbacks during this time. Fortunately, Amédée-Edouard Dor had started early on to buy up old cognacs from the best locations in the Charente and let them mature in his own cellar vault. A true empire has grown out of this idea. Today, the Dor house has the largest collection of old cognacs in the entire Charente, with distillates dating back to 1805. AE Dor regularly releases exclusive, decades-old cognacs from its almost inexhaustible stock. A very special creation is the AE Dor Cognac Legend. This assemblage of up to 30-year-old distillates from the Champagne and Borderies regions is unparalleled in terms of harmony and complexity. The elaborately designed glass bottle also looks extremely classy and visually underlines the status of this exceptional cognac. Tasting the AE Dor Cognac Legend: The AE Dor Cognac Legend has a deep dark, shimmering red-brown color and exudes a beguiling bouquet as soon as it is poured. In addition to intense aromas of vanilla, dried apricots, candied oranges and plums, the basic character is characterized by spicy oak. In addition, hints of leather, tobacco and coffee provide incomparable complexity and depth. On the tongue, the AE Dor Cognac Legend is extremely strong and full-bodied. Ripe notes of oak, leather, leaves and roasted nuts are gently surrounded by sweet vanilla, raisins and dates. The fine tannin structure and the excellent "rancio" also ensure a large volume and a full-bodied finish. The AE Dor Cognac Legend is rightly considered an exceptional cognac. The noble assemblage delights with a wealth of different aromas and a rich, extremely rare maturity.
