COGNAC

In a world of cognac where taste has changed little since the nineteenth century, Quintessence is the aim of an exceptional cognac of our time, inspired by the admiration of the producer for the great vintages of the 1st Bordeaux Cru. After 25 years, cognac is housed for another 10 years, in younger barrels from 12 to 15 years, whose exuberance allows the cognac to reveal its history, the minerality of the wines, the freshness of the First Flavors, the harmony of Three great aromatic phases and this impression of infinite length.

Maison: When Pierre Voisin created his company with Olivier Blanc in 1972, he baptized Leopold Gourmel as a tribute to his grandfather. The two founders appreciate the authenticity of this character, especially his close relationship with nature when he cultivates his vines and garden in the Ile de Ré. A respect for the environment that fits perfectly with their way of conceiving the elaboration of cognac ... And it is still Leopold, saddler of his state, that inspires the emblem of the brand: the horse's head. Here again, the symbol is strong, because the most beautiful conquest of man is perfectly associated with the nobility, elegance and finesse of the cognac Léopold Gourmel. Finally, beyond the affective comparisons, the justification of this patronymic choice is also found in the evocative power of its pronunciation. To say "Leopold Gourmel" ... is already feeling like a promise of new flavors and nice moments of complicity
Rewards:
TASTING

Eye: Rare gold
Nose: A surprising palette, very melted, impression of old vintages of sauternes but also mineral, aerial, and always very fresh.
Palate: An almost impressionist harmony, marriage of fruit, flowers and spices. Notes of red fruits, chamomile, lemongrass. The most remarkable is the aromatic persistence that seems never to end. A rare and selfish pleasure.
Serve: Serve between 10 ° C and 12 ° C
