Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the cognac to give someone who appreciates a slow, thoughtful pour: a mentor marking a milestone, a parent on Father's Day, or a host who keeps a snifter by the bookshelf. The name nods to 1738, the year a royal decree granted the right to expand vineyards for eaux-de-vie in the Cognac region, which gives the bottle a story worth telling as it is handed over. Blended primarily from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie made from Ugni Blanc grapes and aged in French oak, it opens with ripe apricot, baked apple and sweet vanilla, touched with toasted oak, cinnamon and a floral lift. The palate is smooth and velvety, with caramelized pear, fig and nutty undertones before a long finish of toffee and baking spices. It rewards a seasoned cognac drinker sipping neat from a tulip glass, yet it is approachable enough for a newcomer over a couple of ice cubes or stirred into a Sidecar. Add dark chocolate or a pear tart to the gift and the evening plans itself.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate and roasted nuts — The cognac's nutty undertones and toasted oak echo roasted nuts while its gentle sweetness sits comfortably alongside bittersweet chocolate.
- Pear tart or crème brûlée — Caramelized pear on the palate and a toffee finish mirror the fruit and burnt-sugar notes of these desserts.
- Father's Day after-dinner toast — A slow, aromatic pour of apricot, vanilla and baking spice makes an unhurried, celebratory sip for honoring Dad at the end of the meal.
