The Gilles Brisson VS Cognac is a top-quality Cognac made from carefully harvested Ugni Blanc grapes from the prestigious Grande Champagne region. It has earned the esteemed Grande Champagne Appellation 1er Cru de Cognac Classification. This Cognac has a fresh and delicious flavor with a lot of character. The VS abbreviation refers to the aging process in oak barrels for 3 to 4 years. The soil in this region, dating back to the Jurassic period, has a high chalk content due to millions of years of fossilization. The combination of a maritime climate, limestone and chalk, and optimal sunlight absorption results in the cultivation of grapes perfect for creating fine Cognac. The color is amber gold with mahogany hints. The scent includes oak, chamomile, cedar, and spice. The taste is of baked apple, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon peel, baking spice, gingerbread, almond, and grapefruit.
