Roger Groult Calvados are on the best tables in France and around the world.

Jean Fillioux 1992 Cognac Grande Champagne 43% 700ml
$235.00
Jean Fillioux, a semi artisan producer of cognacs from the very special Golden Triangle of the Grande Champagne region, itself the very best origin for cognacs, is listed in the 10 top trending brands by Drinks International.
It should not be regarded as a magnificent achievement since the rest of the group is mostly the usual suspects, the well known very “commercial “ brands. However, it is proof that small artisan producers are being noticed for their superior quality, by even, the large mass of non-connoisseurs more attuned to the Big Houses of Cognac.
To celebrate, Jean Fillioux has reserved for Cerbaco a barrel of their 1992 vintage just bottled as a Special Cerbaco Label. Vintage cognacs are as rare as hen’s teeth, even more so from the best part of Grand Champagne, and 1992, freshly bottled, perfectly proves the superiority and individuality of artisan production.
Harvested and distilled in 1992, this Cognac was matured in a French recent loose grain oak cask, in a cool damp cellar.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh and floral on the nose with citrus fruit, syrupy apples and refined orchid tones.
Palate: Round and complex palate with beeswax, ripe plum, candied orange and chocolate.
Finish: Long and lively finish with persistent aromas of baked pastry, light spices, and cherry.

Golden colour, well developed woody nose, lots of vanilla with floral notes, mouth not very aggressive marked by a gentle attack of vanilla and spices; the wood then comes back creating length.
Paul Giraud Cognac 1999 40% 700ml
$309.00
The new kid of the range has, like all the little ones, been the subject of special attention.
I thought it would be interesting to age the last year of the century in a separate and unique cellar. The entire 1999 harvest has aged in the cellar of Villeneuve-Haut, slightly less humid than those of Montendres. It was bottled at the end of 2017.
Aromatically, it is the bridge between the flower of Napoleon and the fruits of the old reserve (X.O.). The aroma of Napoleon's vine flower intensifies and becomes more captivating; the fruity side of the old reserve appears. This combination of aromas, as well as the aging in dryer cellars, give a higher liveliness and make it a more "intense" cognac. Its success with our amateur customers confirms us in the style of the house: single year and single vintage cognac.
