Deau 1988 Petite Champagne 

Vintage cognacs are indeed very special products in the world of cognac. Unlike traditional cognacs, which are typically blends of several eaux-de-vie from different years, vintage cognacs come from a single year of harvest. This practice is quite rare in the cognac industry because it requires exceptional weather conditions and production techniques to obtain high-quality eaux-de-vie from a specific year.

Since 1989, the BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac) has established specific regulations for the marketing of vintage cognacs. These regulations require that each cask containing vintage eaux-de-vie be sealed and listed, and that any handling be done in the presence of a sworn representative of the BNIC to ensure the authenticity of the age and origin of the cognac.

This rigor in the production and marketing process of vintage cognacs helps preserve their unique character and ensures consumers the quality and authenticity of these exceptional products.In the ethereal glow of this vintage, behold a cognac akin to a gown adorned with shimmering gold reflections, casting a spell of elegance and allure. At first scent, the nose reveals a captivating earthiness, evoking memories of dew-kissed leaves after a gentle downpour. Delicate whispers of fresh Parisian mushrooms and subtle nuances of saddlery tantalize the senses, inviting exploration. 

Upon the palate, a symphony of flavors unfolds with grace, where the earthiness gives way to a delightful fruitiness, reminiscent of sun-ripened orchards. The journey continues with a frank and lively attack, igniting the palate with its spirited presence. As the experience unfolds, a subtle hint of peppery sweetness emerges, weaving its way through the palate like a gentle breeze.

With each sip, this cognac captivates and enthralls, offering a sensory journey that transcends time and place. It is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its creators, promising an experience that is as refined as it is unforgettable. Truly, this cognac is a celebration of life's simple pleasures, wrapped in a veil of sophistication and charm.
