Chalfonte Special Reserve, which replaces the VSOP on the label, is a high-quality Cognac made from white grapes cultivated in the Grande Champagne cru. The terroir of Grande Champagne is characterized by a maritime climate and chalky soils consisting of limestone and sandstone. Chalfonte is produced, matured, and blended in limited quantities in the heart of the Cognac region. This Cognac has a beautiful golden honey color and a captivating aroma of apricot, vanilla, spice, fresh crushed grape, oak, and berry, with a subtle floral undertone. The entry on the palate is sweet and juicy, featuring the flavors of grape and berry that intensify to a pleasantly tart peak. The finish is warm, slightly dry, and peppery, with notes of apricot, vanilla, cream, leather, oak, licorice, and orange rind.
