Briottet 1er Cru Grande Champagne Napoléon Cognac
Briottet’s 1er Cru Grande Champagne Napoléon Cognac is an exceptional expression of France’s most prestigious cognac terroir. Crafted exclusively from Ugni-Blanc grapes grown in the “golden triangle” of the Grande Champagne district—where the chalky limestone soils impart unparalleled finesse—this cognac reflects the purity and depth of its origin. Distilled twice in traditional Charentais copper stills, the spirit captures both elegance and complexity before being aged in fine Limousin oak barrels.
The blend includes several carefully selected eaux-de-vie, with the youngest having matured for at least 12 years, creating a remarkable depth of character. Its fiery amber hue hints at the richness within, while the bouquet reveals a long-lasting aromatic spectrum: raisin, banana, grape, walnut, aniseed, and cumin unfold in harmonious balance. On the palate, it is refined yet powerful, with additional layers of ripe melon, dried fruits, and nutty warmth. The structure is both agile and smooth, leading into an enduring, elegant finish.
This Napoléon Cognac exemplifies Briottet’s dedication to tradition, craftsmanship, and terroir. Ideal as a contemplative digestif, it is best savored neat to appreciate its complexity. A true Grande Champagne cognac, it embodies balance, longevity, and sophistication worthy of the finest cellar.
