Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Green oranges mingle with vetiver, ylang-ylang, roses and orange blossom on the nose. Raisins, peach and a little honey complement the fresh, floral character. A little water rounds out the aromas, bringing to mind fir honey and propolis, perhaps also a hint of argan oil.
• Palate: Neat, the cognac is taut, with pronounced liquorice, orange zest, tobacco and oak. A little water brings out orange blossom honey, alongside hints of baklava and panettone. The restrained oak in the background recalls black tea.
• Finish: The long finish becomes a little more peppery, combining cloves with tea and cigar tobacco. Oranges return at the very end.

Distillery/Bottler:

The house of Jean-Luc Pasquet is based in Éraville, in the commune of Bellevigne. Symphonie des Terroirs has its roots in a collaborative approach to selecting cognac: in the 1990s, Jean-Luc joined forces with other independent winegrowers to establish their own cognac brand. He took responsibility for creating the blends. Today's Symphonie des Terroirs builds on that project, once again bringing together cognacs from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois and Bons Bois.
