Distilled twice from clear wines rather than the lees-retained method some houses use, this cognac ages for a minimum of two years, just long enough to develop a gentle honey colour while retaining an energetic, youthful character. Plum, apricot and candied lemon dominate the nose alongside a distinctive dash of saffron, developing into a palate of wood and spice balanced by genuine freshness and a velvety texture, closing on harmonious fruity and citrus notes that make it as suited to cocktails as to sipping.
