This vintage cognac comes from a small Cognac house founded in 1930, located in the commune of Sainte Sévère which is on the border of Fins Bois and Borderies, on a clay-siliceous soil, with flint. The year 1980 is engraved in the memories of Cognac for its very small harvest, and the extreme cold that accompanied the harvest.
Bord de Mer is the first Cognac from Maison Jean-Luc Pasquet from the Borderies terroir. It is a blend with an average age of 30 years (L.30Y) with the characteristic freshness of Borderies. Ideal for tasting on sunny days, it was quite naturally that it was named Bord de Mer. Limited Edition of 309 bottles.
A.E. Dor Vieille Reserve N°9 comes from a few carboys of a blend of very old Grande Champagne Eaux-de-vie (80%) and very old Fins Bois (20%). The quality of this great Cognac comes from this very long aging in barrels until it reaches 40% alcohol by natural evaporation.
A very complex Cognac. Very amber color. Nose of old Madeira and old Porto with prune finish. Round and smooth mouth with a rancio with notes of cinnamon and leather. Superlative finale.
An exceptional cognac for an exceptional man, Louis Vallet (4th generation), who launched bottle sales at Château Montifaud. The L50 is a rare blend of very old cognacs and constitutes one of the most prestigious qualities of cognac from the House. The first cognac distilled by Louis Vallet was selected to be part of this blend.
