The House of A E Dor, founded in Jarnac in 1858, produces exceptional eau-de-vie using grapes from the Champagne region. AE Dor's Fine Champagne Cognac is a blend of eight-year-old eaux-de-vie from both Petite and Grande Champagne regions. It has a light and delicate flavor profile with impressive intensity. The nose initially has earthy and tobacco notes, along with a hint of charred oak. As it develops, fruit flavors like grapes and raisins emerge, along with a savory touch. On the palate, there are bold fruit and spice flavors, enhanced by nutmeg, cinnamon, and black tea. Caramel sweetness provides a foundation, which gradually deepens with oaky spice and clove hints. The finish is a lingering and sweetened black tea with subtle notes of fresh and dried vine fruit. This VSOP Cognac offers a complex profile, combining herbal, spicy, fruity, and oaky elements. The texture is luxurious and thick, creating a delightful mouthfeel.
