Overview
Deux Familles Single Cask Grande Champagne Cognac
Aged for over 60 years, Deux Familles Single Cask Grande Champagne Cognac is an extraordinary expression of premier cru cognac. Distilled in 1952 and carefully matured in an 80-year-old French Limousin oak cask, this rare single cask bottling captures the finesse, complexity, and depth of one of the world’s most esteemed cognac regions.
Process & Profile
- Origin: Sourced from a batch of cognac purchased in 2012 from Mr. Julien André, a winegrower from Grande Champagne. The cognac was already 60 years old at the time of purchase.
- Maturation: Aged in an 80-year-old ‘red’ French Limousin oak cask to preserve the delicate finesse of the eau-de-vie and avoid excessive tannin influence.
- Cellaring: Stored in a former stable cellar with a damp environment for an additional 12 years, allowing it to reach its peak complexity.
- Filtration: Non-chill filtered with no added sugar or caramel, ensuring purity and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A luminous amber hue with hints of gold.
- Nose: A complex bouquet featuring indulgent notes of bitter orange, candied fruit, and roasted pineapple, alongside Virginia tobacco and cigar box aromas. Oxidative notes of mellow tannins, hazelnut, walnut stain, and rancio add depth, while hallmark berry tones of blackcurrant leaf and raspberry enhance its signature profile.
- Palate: Exuberant and highly concentrated, with exotic fruit flavors like pineapple and passion fruit leading into rich Dominican tobacco, sultanas, and Sauternes wine. The finish offers an acidic rancio quality reminiscent of great aged rums.
