This is a single-vintage cognac from Maxime Trijol, a family-owned house based in the Cognac region, drawn from the 1976 harvest and sourced from Borderies, the smallest and most distinctive of the region`s crus. Borderies eaux-de-vie are prized for a signature note of violets and nuts, setting them apart from the more floral Grande Champagne, and are often considered to mature with particular elegance. Expect a rounded, aromatic cognac with real depth after nearly five decades in cask, a rare find for collectors seeking something beyond the usual crus.
