I'm told the ladies are impressed with Courvoisier. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/97/97bladiesman.phtml http://www.ballyhoovintage.com/73/73076.html http://www.phatpimpclothing.com/hi/phatpimp/getcourvoisier.html Tag line on last link says it all. |
This is a very nice topic! Indeed, my name is Edouard Normandin-Mercier and I am very proud to reed some comments like above. I think this forum is amazingly sharp for people that no do live in Cognac Region! I was just surfing on the web looking for feedback on my Cognacs. Please feel free to ask me anything. Edouard |
Excellent Cognac value: Daniel Bouju VSOP, about $35 at the big box retailers. Unbelievably smooth, wonderful nose - slightly spicy and some nice fruit. Round and rich on the palate, some underlying wood. Try it. It was recently rated third out of the Top 50 Cognacs. The other varieties up line are also nice but don't yield the same incredible value. |
Cognac de Collection Jean Grosperrin: true vintage (to the highest possible degree of certainty), no blending, no reduction, no caramel addition, and absolutely MAJESTIC (en majuscules, je vous prie)! My last bottle: 1962 Petite Champagne (bottled 2001); think I'll sell some audio cables and try to find me another one ;^) http://www.lagabare.com/en/index.htm Of the more readily available cognacs: Léopold Gourmel "Age des Épices" (that, personally, I like even better than their "Quintessence"), exclusively Fins Bois cognacs and proof that these vineyards can turn out a fantastic product from the hands of a great distiller. |
