Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this VSOP Cognac comes from the Grande Champagne region, the most prestigious of the Cognac production area. This VSOP Cognac is a blend of 0 to 15 years old cognacs in French oak barrels in Michel Forgeron's cellars, and has a strength of 43% vol. A lively and fresh Cognac, to be served on the rocks.Try adding a dash of syrup for your aperitifs. Iced, it will go perfectly with the delicacy of marinated scallops.
One of the younger brands in the region, the first Michel Forgeron Cognac was released in 1977. The house speciality is single vintage releases bottled at high ABV, not typical of the category. The Forgeron family still manages the estate, living by Michel’s credo ‘work hard, produce better.’
Visual examination: This VSOP Cognac has a golden colour, slightly tinged with amber. Olfactory examination: The aromatic finesse of this cognac is immediately apparent. A first aroma of fresh Vanilla which disappears in a bouquet of Spring: Hyacinth, White Narcissus, Acacia and Dried Linden. There are also slightly spicy notes. Taste examination: Supple and pleasant. Lightness, roundness and persistence on the palate characterize Michel Forgeron VSOP Cognac.
