Merlet VS Cognac 0.7L 40% History and production of Merlet VS Cognac: The history of the Merlet cognac house begins in 1850. The founder, Firmin Merlet, came from a family that owned large vineyards and had a thorough knowledge of the development and storage of fine wines. In the middle of the 19th century, Firmin decided to distill some of his wine and produce cognac. The cognacs were so aromatic and full-bodied that Merlet subsequently supplied all the major cognac houses with his fine brandy. The knowledge of the type of distillation and the complex maturation in oak barrels was passed on and expanded from generation to generation. In the 1970s, one of the descendants, Gilles Merlet, decided to grow blackcurrants on a large scale on the family's own land and to produce a cassis liqueur. The success of this liqueur overshadowed everything that had come before and made the company famous around the world. As a result, many different fruit liqueurs were produced alongside high-quality cognac. However, it was to be a while before Merlet brought cognac onto the market under its own name. One of the flagship products is Merlet VS Cognac. This cognac, which has been matured for a long time in Limousin oak barrels, impresses with its great fruit aroma and full-bodied taste. Whether as a high-quality base in cognac-based cocktails or as a stylish digestif, the Merlet VS Cognac always impresses. Tasting the Merlet VS Cognac: The Merlet VS Cognac shimmers honey-gold in the glass and impresses with its enormous fruit bouquet even before the first sip. There are aromatic notes of grapes, red berries, cherries and plums. There are also spicy hints of roasted nuts, almonds, cinnamon and oak, which combine harmoniously with the fruity character. On the tongue, the Merlet VS Cognac is full-bodied and balanced. The result is a rich interplay of fruitiness, sweetness and spicy barrel freight. Notes of vanilla, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves emerge. There is also a whole potpourri of red, fully ripe fruits. The background is characterized by spicy oak and coffee. The long, warming finish lingers on the tongue and palate forever and forms a worthy conclusion. The Merlet VS Cognac is a remarkable cognac that really has all the facets that correspond to this noble spirit genre. A harmonious, finely balanced aroma and taste profile of mild fruitiness, pleasant sweetness and strong spiciness make the Merlet VS Cognac an absolutely exceptional product.

Remy Martin Cognac Louis XIII, 0.7L 40%

The Cognac House Dobbé The Cognac House Dobbé is a family-run business that has been owned by the owner family since 1787. Back then, the ancestors of the current managing director, Michel Dobbé, acquired the first vineyards in the Charente and distilled their first cognac a few years later. The Cognac House is located in the small town of Salignac sur Charente, which is very close to the famous town of Cognac. The Dobbé family now cultivates a good 35 hectares of vineyards. While a third of these vineyards are in the Cognac region of Fins Bois, the remaining two thirds of the grapes are grown in the famous "Petite Champagne" region. The vineyards are mostly planted with the Ugni Blanc grape variety, which produces very fruity, fine and complex cognacs. In order to achieve the best possible result, a large part of the work in the vineyard is done by hand and bad or rotten harvests are meticulously sorted out. After the grapes have been gently pressed, the resulting grape must is fermented. This produces a typical, rather acidic base wine, which is then double distilled in the traditional way in 25 hectoliter Charentais stills. The still young distillate is then filled into barrels made of Limousine oak to mature and taken to the Dobbé cellars for storage. The cognac matures there until the long-standing cellar master considers the quality to be perfect and releases the cognac for bottling. Bottling also takes place on site at the estate. This gives the Dobbé family the opportunity to observe every important step in the production of their cognacs first hand. The Dobbé Cognac Petit Champagne 10 years For ten long years, this exclusive cognac was allowed to mature to perfection in the house's cellars. Only grapes from the renowned Petite Champagne were used to produce it, which give this cognac its unmistakable character. On the nose, the cognac, which is bottled at a strong 43% vol., shows aromas of dried fruit, nuts and a hint of flowers and black berries such as blackberries. On the palate, nuances of vanilla, caramel and jam join the aromas from the smell. The long aftertaste is very balanced, harmonious and warming. A great cognac!
