Crafted within the historic Château de Cognac, Baron Otard VSOP embodies the elegance and heritage of a renowned house established in 1795. Blended from carefully selected eaux-de-vie aged to perfection, this VSOP stands out for its refined balance of smoothness, structure and aromatic depth.
The nose opens with generous notes of ripe fruits, vanilla and dried flowers, enhanced by delicate oak tones from extended maturation in French oak casks. On the palate, it is rich and silky, revealing flavours of honey, gentle spices and candied fruits, leading into a long, harmonious and elegant finish.
Specific References
Baron Otard is a legendary Cognac house founded in 1795 by Jean‑Baptiste Antoine Otard, who purchased the Château de Cognac—birthplace of King Francois Ier—to house his cellars. Descendant of an aristocratic lineage connected to a Viking named Ottar, the brand matures its eaux‑de‑vie in the medieval castle’s cellars, benefiting from consistent humidity and temperature. Now owned by Bacardi Group, it balances innovation with centuries-old traditions. Its range, from VS to XO Gold, showcases masterful blends, refined aromas (floral, dried fruits, vanilla, licorice), and French oak aging.

This Cognac comes from a property in Bonneuil, one of the best terroirs in Grande Champagne. The 3 barrels that Grosperrin bought in 2012 from this family come from the joint ownership of André Noblet, who had made 3 different blends with his own father's eaux-de-vie. This is one of them.
