A delightful VSOP Cognac with a delicate, fruit profile from a family estate with two hundred years of history.
The first local records show that Jean Ménard already owned an estate where he maintained his vineyards and distilled Cognac in the Grand Champaign region in 1815. Today, the family estate covers more than 80 hectares with 100% of the grapes going into Ménard’s line of signature Cognacs. All distillation is completed on-site using their copper alembic still, and the Spirits are aged in local Limousin oak. This is a true estate producer of fine Cognacs with an impeccable pedigree of quality and more than two centuries of tradition.
Menard VSOP Cognac is comprised of Ménard’s estate Eau de Vie pressed from Ugni Blanc grapes. The master blender created a balanced profile by combining casks that have aged on-site for four to five years in those famous Limousin oak casks. The result is a classic French Cognac profile balancing rich sweetness and earthy fruit with a lovely, nuanced texture.
