Known historically as the Brandy of Napoleon, this cognac blends Bon Bois and Fins Bois eaux-de-vie distilled without lees to elevate fruit character upfront, joined by Petite Champagne distilled with lees for added complexity and length. Fresh apple and pear open the nose alongside ripe peach and delicate floral tones, developing into a smooth, lively palate of stone fruit, honey and gentle spice, closing clean and elegant with lingering fruit sweetness balanced by a fresh oaky finish.
