Tasting notes

Older than the minimum of ageing required by the regulation, this VS sets the tone of what we can find in the range.
Light yellow colour, vine flower and fruity taste (pear, apple). Powerful but round and smooth, Light and delicate tannins: A great balance!

Tasting suggestion

Neat, its mellowness and roundness will give you an easy and pleasant start in the cognac discovery.
Its lively character will make the ideal basis for cocktails. Ask for our 'Signature' cocktails!

VSOP

Tasting notes

This VSOP is the best seller of Château Montifaud range. A perfect balance & structure and already a great length on the palate. Lots of finesse, notes of vineyard flower but evolution to dried flowers, some fruits also (pear, apricot), this VSOP is very round, mellow and fine on the palate.

Tasting suggestion

No special way to enjoy this VSOP, pleasure comes automatically! You can enjoy it neat at 20°C, or in long drinks!
Catherine really likes to associating the VSOP with scallops cooked with an endive cream.

Napoléon

Tasting notes

The Napoleon is a apart: between the VSOP and the XO in the general cognac classification, this blend also has a special position in our range: a blend of more than 10 different cognacs, all older than the years required by regulation.
This Napoleon remains typical of our cognacs by its amazing roundness and its sweetness with light notes of lime tree, dried flowers, plum and dried fruits. Very present vanilla, suppleness and roundness on the palate. The 'rancio' appears in final notes.

Tasting suggestion

This Napoleon can be the right compromise if you like the freshness of VSOP and the complexity of XO… Neat, at 20 ° C, you will discover all the roundness and the dried fruit notes of this cognac.
Enjoyed at room temperature or on ice, also delicious on a pear or apple pie.

Elodie Vallet wanted to sublimate the unique and delicate blend created by her husband, Laurent, with a silver touch! Elegant, sober, fine and original, you will be impressed by its complexity. Aromas of candied fruit (apricot, prune) mixed with a note of cocoa.
At 20°C, you will appreciate its finesse and complexity. Nice length on the palate with a slightly spicy finish. For the greediest, Elodie is delighted to suggest you a tasting of this XO "Silver" on a chocolate dessert!
