40.0% | 70.0cl

Prepare to be enthralled by the exquisite Domaine de Chez Maillard Leyrat Cognac VSOP—a true testament to the artistry and passion of its esteemed producer. Nestled in the heart of the Cognac region in France, Domaine de Chez Maillard Leyrat is a family-owned estate with a rich heritage spanning generations. Renowned for their unwavering commitment to traditional craftsmanship and their deep connection to the land, the producer meticulously tends to their vineyards, cultivating the revered Ugni Blanc grapes that form the backbone of their exceptional Cognacs.

To craft the magnificent Domaine de Chez Maillard Leyrat Cognac VSOP, the hand-picked Ugni Blanc grapes undergo a meticulous process of transformation. After gentle pressing, the resulting grape juice is slowly fermented to preserve its vibrant flavours. The wine is then distilled in traditional copper pot stills, allowing for the delicate extraction of aromas and the development of a pure and refined eau-de-vie. The Cognac is subsequently aged in French oak barrels, where it acquires its rich amber hue and matures gracefully, capturing the essence of time.

Tasting Note

Ripe apricot and pear on the nose, intertwined with elegant floral notes and a subtle thread of vanilla. Real complexity on the palate — caramelized sugar, honeyed oak and a delicate touch of spice in easy balance. Velvety smooth, with a finish that lingers pleasurably.
