This VSOP is the best seller of Château Montifaud range. A perfect balance and structure and already a great length on the palate.

Lots of finesse, notes of vineyard flower but evolution to dried flowers, some fruits also (pear, apricot).

This VSOP is very round, mellow and fine on the palate.

Description

This release comprises a blend of eaux-de-vie from the Petite Champagne growing region. The wines for the Chateau de Montifaud VSOP Cognac have been made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes and stored on the lees for 2-3 months before distillation to create a superb bold character full of grapevine and fruit flavors. 

New oak casks are used for the first year of maturation, after which the eaux-de-vie are transferred into old oak (4-15 years old) for the remaining ageing time. The total process can take up to ten years - much longer than the four-year minimum required for a VSOP. With such an extraordinary suppleness and delicacy on the palate complemented by sweet hints of pear and apricot, we say this Cognac is worth the wait. 

The Vallet family have been the guardians of Château de Montifaud Cognac for six generations and are today responsible for 125 hectares of vineyards across the Grande and Petite Champagne regions. Specializing in traditional production methods, the family chooses to distil only Ugni Blanc grapes and always aim to age their Cognac significantly longer than required by law.

Eye : Dark antique amber. 

Nose : Touches of flowers on the vine, but equally of linden and wildflowers - even more present than in the VS. Given time, the aroma slowly shifts from fresh to dried florals. 

Palate : Dominated by pears, apricots and nuts. Suppleness and delicacy on the palate leading to a superb, long finish.

This lively and floral VSOP is great before dinner as well as after. Serve neat in tulip glasses at room temperature as a digestif, or over ice as an aperitif. Great for garden parties, summer wedding receptions or just to enjoy on a balcony late into the evening.
