Place : Domaine de l’Echalotte 16130 Juillac le Coq 16130 – 15km in the South of Cognac
Grape used : 100% ugni white, a grape with a long period of maturation but with a good opposition against the

Composition : A blend of eaux de vie – cognac whose youngest eau de vie is at least two or three years old
Geology : The Great Champagne is spread on 13000 hectares of vineyards used in the production of cognac
white wines. This cru gives to the cognac a flourish and smooth taste requiring a long period in old cask. The
company is set up on a clay soil and benefit from a sunny oceanic climate with smooth winter and a 13 annual
average temperature –
Distillation : The method of distillation in Cognac is traditional. The transformation from wine to spirits takes place
in a charentais copper-pot still whose capacity is limited 30 hl. The first distillation produces the “brouillis”. The
second distillation produces the “bonne-chauffe” from which only the heart becomes cognac, with an alcoholic
content which must not exceed 72% -
Aging : In French oak cask coming from Limousin containing between 250 – 400 L. in a humid and fresh cellar –
Tasting The colour is lightly amber-pink. This cognac has a fruity nose with persistent notes of
smoked cream expressing a powerful aromatic potential. After you can distinguish some dry fruit,
almond, Hazelnut smell and some toasted aromas. The nose is well balanced, powerful and smooth.
This VS de luxe stay perfect for any long drink and it could give you a real opportunity to mix in
cocktails –
