$720.00
$792.00
The spectacular 50 year blend, in a stunning Carafe.
The age of reason. According to the freshness and the balance of Armagnacs of this age, it is sometimes time, at the end of 50 years to stop the barrel ageing.

The aromas of chocolate, leather and roasted notes are characteristic of these very old eaux de vie.
Jean Fillioux Grande Champagne Cognac 1964 44% 500ml
$1,091.00
This 1964 vintage from the Grande Champagne terroir is the fruit of the work of several generations, of a lifetime.
Several decades were necessary to polish such a jewel. First in casks, then in dame-Jeanne, the eaux-de-vie of this cognac has remained hidden in the darkness of the cellar.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is powerful, and voluptuous, marked by aromas of Catalan cream, ripe stone fruit, beeswax and licorice.
On the palate, there is a remarkably melted woody taste, of a bewitching complexity. Then this explosion of flavours: vanilla, fresh tobacco, exotic fruits and candied fruits. The whole is sublimated by an elegant rancio and an incredibly persistent saffron finish.
It is necessary to take time, each sip inspires a new emotion…
