Drouet VSOP Grande Champagne French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Ulysse and Elina Dumargue once worked the land for the L'Homme family, long before they themselves became part of the Drouet lineage. Ten years in cask later, that same soil has become a juicy, elegantly spiced VSOP.

Expert's Description

Drouet VSOP is a French Cognac from Grande Champagne, aged at least 10 years and bottled at 40%.

The Drouet family history stretches back to the great-grandparents Ulysse and Elina Dumargue, who worked the vineyards for the founding L'Homme family before their descendants later took over and expanded the estate. Today Cognac Drouet is run by the fourth generation.

The VSOP quality is made from 100% Grande Champagne grapes and has been given considerably longer ageing than VS, resulting in a juicy, elegantly spiced cognac with a clear cask influence.
