Cognac Park Single Barrel millésimé 2006
Cellar No. 8, Borderies, 700 ml
Description
This cognac barrel bottling, exclusive to Baur au Lac Vins in a limited edition (198 bottles), is a single barrel cognac from the storage cellar no. 8 of Tessendier et Fils. It was matured in oak barrels for 13 years and developed a flowery, fruity and very balanced bouquet. The cognac has scents of acacia blossom, vanilla, citrus fruits and a little honey. On the palate, it is very soft and presents aromas of sultanas, dried fruits and some butterscotch, accompanied by a noble, smoky note. The long-lasting finish is characterised by marzipan and sultana flavours.

Cognac
Cognac: Hochprozentig edel
Das idyllisch am Fluss Charente gelegene Cognac ist eine französische Kleinstadt wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Es liegt im Herzen einer Weinbauregion, deren Rebfläche von fast 80.000 Hektar fast ausschliesslich der Weinbrand-Herstellung dient. In den ausgedehnten Kellern der prestigeträchtigen Cognac-Häusern reifen diese Destillate jahrelang ihrer Genussreife entgegen. Die exklusivsten Cognacs schlummern oft fünfzig oder mehr Jahre in Eichenfässern, bis sie in edlen Karaffen zum Verkauf angeboten werden.

France – Philosophy in a bottle
According to French philosophy, wine should be an expression of the soil and climate. They use the word “terroir” to describe this. Terroir makes every wine different, and many especially good. French wine is regarded worldwide as an expression of cultural perfection. The French believe that humans are responsible for the quality of the berries, the vine variety for their character, and nature for the quantity. This philosophy can be expressed succinctly as: “the truth is the vineyard, not the man.”
