Paul Giraud Cognac ‘Heritage’ 60yrs Grande Champagne (700ml)
$699.00
This cognac has reached the paroxysm of oxidation. Héritage is one of the longest aged releases from Paul Giraud: It has been maturing quietly in the family cellars in Paul’s cellars for 60 years. Strong rancio aromas speak of its age, with incredible length and complexity too.
Very old eau-de-vie aged in Limousin oak barrels, with exacerbated aromas of rancio, oxidation so characteristic of very very old cognacs. Very long on the palate!
This taste is difficult to describe. It is found in old beeswax furniture or old walnut oils; it only appears after a very long aging. It can also be found in Porto, Sherry, Maury.
Such an aroma is inimitable: only time does its work.

Paul Giraud produces in Grande Champagne an exquisite cognac range, from a 6-year old to a 60-year old cognac. The estate is located in Bouteville and in St. Même-les-Carrières, the growing area comes to 35 hectares.
The cognac house combines traditional methods with a modern take on cognac production, avoiding any kinds of chemicals or pesticides in their agriculture and colouring additives in the final blends, producing a purer, more authentic flavor profile and a distinctive depth of character.
The work in the vineyard, as well as the actual harvest of the grapes is still done manually, insuring the best possible treatment of the grapes in order to generate the highest quality for the eau-de-vie. Paul Giraud produces single year cognacs, so that they are not blended eaux-de-vie from different years, but keep the annual characteristics.
Therefore, Paul Giraud is considered by the specialists as the very best representative of Grande Champagne Cognacs. It would not be enough, if it were not also for the fact that spring water literally runs through his cellar and this is what brings a rapid alcohol reduction and fresh floral aromas. The peacock tail effect is impressive (Ethereal return from the back palate)
