Paul Beau Lignee de Samuel Grande Champagne Cognac

About Paul Beau Lignee de Samuel Grande Champagne Cognac

Paul Beau Lignee de Samuel Cognac is made entirely from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the Grande Champagne cru. After the grapes are harvested, they are distilled through a 25 hectolitre still before being matured in traditional oak casks. Paul Beau Lignee de Samuel Cognac is the oldest cognac ever released by Maison Beau — the cognacs were distilled in the early 1950s and matured until September 2014. As a result of this 60+ year maturation period, the cognac has an aroma of rancio, chewy leather, tobacco and Brazilian nuts. The aroma gives way to notes of hazelnuts, dried figs, almonds, and prunes on the palate, and leads to a finish accented by touches of fresh dates, oak, honey buns and peach.

Sixty bottles of this cognac were imported into the United States this year. Pick yours up today!

About Cognac

Cognac is a type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France.
Because the French take it very seriously, there are numerous rules cognac makers have to follow not to fall “short” into the brandy category.

The white wine from the specific grapes (Ugni blanc) has to be doubly distilled in a copper pot still before being aged for at least two years in oak casks from which the wood can only come from two specific forests in France (Limousin or Tronçais).

Depending on the age, there are three types of cognac, the youngest V.S. (Very Special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and the X.O. (Extra Old)
