Tasting Note:
Eye: Gorgeously glowing amber gold.
Nose: A strong, floral nose, with notes of lime and pears.
Palate: The bouquet alternates between mild and floral nuances. Pears, vanilla, lime leaves and oak wood create a wonderful and extremely individual character, which reaches its climax with spices and rough, earthy tobacco.
Baron Otard Cognac VSOP - A Cognac Fit For A Baron
Before tasting this Baron Otard VSOP Cognac, it will be clear that you have invested in an extraordinary bottle indeed. The elegant, teardrop-shaped bottle oozes sumptuous elegance.
Aged far beyond the standard requirements for a Very Superior Old Pale, this Cognac has spent an average of 8-10 years in the lower vault of the grandiose Château de Cognac, biding its time in French Limousin oak casks. The 11th-century chateau provides the perfect cool and dry conditions for aging Cognac.
Thanks to the long maturation process, the VSOP develops a full-bodied and elegant character with heady notes of vanilla, subtle oak and tobacco.
Made solely with grapes grown in the prestigious Fine Champagne duo, and at least 50% from the Grande Champagne growth area, it is an extra special bottle to add to your collection.
The castle itself holds the secrets to years of Cognac production deep within its cellars, after being established by Baron Jean-Baptiste Otard in 1795 who went on to become mayor of the region just nine years later.
It is the only royal chateau in the Cognac region and narrowly avoided being destroyed during the French Revolution.
Baron Otard are masters of Cognac production, particularly their Otard distillery, with its fascinating history that dates back to the Middle Ages.

History of Baron Otard
The esteemed Cognac maison of Baron Otard has a far reaching and fascinating story to tell, and all in the setting of the Chateau de Cognac. Named after the Baron Jean-Baptiste Otard who was born in 1763, the house is one of the finest in the region. The chateau was built originally to defend against invasions from the English and the Vikings in France at the end of the 11th century, and then it was rebuilt to house the Valois family in the 15th century. Francois I, the future King of France (also known as Francois Valois) was born in this very chateau in 1494. It was founded as a maison de Cognac in 1795 by Baron Otard. He believed it to be an optimal environment in which to age Cognac, due to the thick walls and numerous rooms. After being exiled from France, Otard returned to the town of Cognac to begin the art form of blending eaux-de-vie.
