Jacques Cardin, a brand created in Cognac France, is known for its meticulous selection of Ugni-Blanc grapes and its careful consideration of vineyard soil. This VSOP cognac is a blend of various cognacs, each aged for a minimum of four years. The cellar master then ages this special blend in small French oak casks. The aroma is predominantly floral, with hints of vine flowers and subdued vanilla. The taste is characterized by notes of white raisins, baked pineapple, new leather, marshmallow, orange peel, and orange marmalade. The initial impression is both tart and bittersweet, with a well-balanced combination of citrus, sweet oak, and nougat. The midpalate is firm, pleasantly acidic, and has woody undertones. However, it lacks depth and complexity. The finish is slightly sweet and savory.
