Jean-Luc Pasquet 04
This Cognac is a lively and fresh one. While the nose and palate share a lot of similarities, there’s definitely enough differences to keep you intrigued.

Camus Caribbean Expedition
Camus has been pushing some innovation within the category for a while now. Any time a house will try an experiment to see what happens, I’m for it.
Frapin VSOP
Frapin only deals with Grande Champagne, so they know what they’re doing and what they want out of their grapes. They control every aspect of the process.
A. de Fussigny VSOP Grande Champagne
The A. de Fussigny VSOP Grande Champagne is a great representation of the terroir it comes from. It’s definitely an affordable bottle for the quality.

For an age of 12-30 years, it smelled very fresh and lively. The finish has a creamy, dark chocolate note being the main player and a hint of rancio.
Gautier VS
It’s a solid contender within the VS category. It tastes young, in all the right ways, and highlights the freshness of the Fin Bois terroir.
