LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The connoisseur's choice. It manages to be complex without being heavy. If you only drink one cognac in your life, this should be it.

The Library Note

While most cognacs lean heavily on Grande Champagne grapes, Cordon Bleu celebrates the Borderies cru, the smallest and most sought-after terroir. It has remained unchanged for over a century and is arguably the most recognizable prestige cognac in the world.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Explosive and elegant. Candied plums, apples, roasted coffee, and almonds.

THE PALATE

Round and mellow. Orchard fruits, gingerbread, and cocoa.

THE FINISH

Long, spicy, and fruit-driven.

Sensory Profile

SmokySweetComplexBitterFloral

THE PERFECT SERVE

Neat. It is the definition of a sipping cognac. Adding ice would be a crime.

Composition

Distilled Grapes

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

A blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie, deeply influenced by the floral, nutty character of the Borderies region.
