Visual aspect: mirabelle yellow colour, orangey tinges, very gleaming hue. Nose: very pleasant, fine, complex, soft; vanilla-scented pear jam, mild spices. Palate: supple first taste evolving to a fatness that lasts in the mouth; great aromatic complexity. Gourmet pairings: scallop carpaccio with lemon-flavoured whipped cream. Comments: a Cognac that coats the palate. One of the sommeliers' favourites.
