Heritage & Craftsmanship
-
Historical Reverence: Named for Bernard Sazerac de Forge, this cognac revives the brand’s original spirit—rooted in the pre‑Phylloxera era and crafted using old, rare native grape varieties like Folle Blanche and Colombard.
-
Blended Ages: The blend includes eaux‑de‑vie aged between seven and fifty years—creating a cognac both fresh and profound, truly multi‑dimensional.
-
Bottling & Purity: Presented at 47% ABV (94 proof), non–chill filtered and free from additives, to preserve its lush textures.
Tasting Profile
| Aromas | Flavors | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow stone fruits, dried flowers, citrus peel, warm spice | Silky dried fruits, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon | Long, soft—with oaky tannins, vanilla, and black peppercorn |
-
Nose: Complex and refined—think golden plums, floral petals, citrus zest, and nuanced spice.
-
Palate: Richly textured and creamy, layered with dried fruits and a gentle undercurrent of baking spices—pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
-
Finish: Elegant and restrained, closing with vanilla-laced oak and a subtle peppercorn warmth.
Character & Perspective
-
Nose of Presence: Starts delicately—incense, baking spice, and a whisper of lavender-dusted linen. Then it deepens unexpectedly into golden raisin sweetness and textured character.
-
Flavor Depth: A quiet beginning leads into light raisin and gentle warmth, then morphs into a richer mid-palate with stone fruit, cherry, and fig, finishing on oaky spice.
-
Distinctive Style: It's both brighter and earthier than many contemporary cognacs—lighter in feel yet complete in presence.
