Talking about Cognac

Hi everybody,

Not sure to be at the right place but I’m improving (and buying) a lot of Cognac these lasts months.
I’d like to exchange with people doing to to share tastings, ideas to purchase.

So I do my first one cause this Cognac is really great and quite cheap : Fanny Fougerat “Le Notoire” Très Vieux Fins Bois 44,8%. Huge fruits, no wood at all. Serge Valentin did a nice review here.

Really great !!!

No yesterday it was a new one also for me, recommanded by friend : François Peyrot Lot 60 Grande Champagne 42%

With undisclosed Culebras.

Next time, you will taste Le Notoire.

I have limited experience with cognac, at the moment this is the only bottle I have:

I can highly recommend the independent bottler Malternative (Webwinkel - malternative-belgium). For me it’s a local guy called Pieter Knapen who really knows his stuff. He also has some GotA bottles in his shop en knows Sacha from Armagnac.de as well.

I sourced 1 bottled recently but not tasted : supposed to be really great (mean 91-92 for bloggers).
Good choice for the first one :+1:

And recently too, I bought the last one from their bottlings called Les Bons Vivants 2 which is a Petite Champagne 1973 from Grosperrin (53,6%) : first nose a bit fruity but not that much, it takes time then it opens a lot on fruits and spices with a very long finish. Very great.

Still available in belgium : Cognac Lot 73 Grosperrin — Care for Craft Spirits

Falls jemand mal reinschauen möchte: Bei Weisshaus gibt es bis 28.07. 10% Rabatt auf Cognac und Armagnac.

Ich kenne mich da allerdings nicht aus und kann nicht beurteilen, ob was Tolles dabei ist.

Doesn’t look as if they have been released yet. They most likely will be available at Whizita.de, they are an important seller for VT and Kirsch. Unfortunately, they don’t ship to other EU countries, but probably someone from this group will be able to help. The same is true for whic.de

OK thanks : yes I know it will be difficult to ship to France but someone from this community offers me to ship them. We will see
