Jean-Paul Grateaud, Cognac Essence des Borderies

Jean-Paul Grateaud, Cognac Essence des Bordeies

15 year old from appellation des Borderies

Situated in Cherac in the heart of the Borderies cru, the Grateaud family has been passing on the art of cognac-making from father to son for five generations.

The nose is subtle with evolved aromas of rancio, wood and violets. The palate attack is sweet and fruity, while the middle is marked by mellow alcohol, deep flavors and roundness. The finish delivers mild and pleasing tannins. This Cognac shows off the floral qualities of the Borderies cru.

For those who prefer: the power and complexity of older cognac with a more velvety, honey-like attack.
