Prunier Borderies Vintage 1978

Cognac Prunier is a traditional family-owned winery with cellars in the heart of the town of Cognac. The house does not own its own vineyards, but buys the eaux-de-vie directly from the winemakers and distillers and then carries out the aging process in its own cellars. It is cognac of absolute excellence.

Tasting note

Colour

Mahogany with a shiny luminosity.

Nose

Refined and subtle in the opening, leading into delicate hints of elegant rancio, chocolate hazelnuts, orange blossom, honey, nutmeg, black pepper. Very rich and complex with a refined elegance.

Palate

Clean and very precise, a pleasing mouth feel, abundant natural sweetness and good depth. Well balanced, the elegant rancio combined with notes of beeswax and leather dominate. The finish is powerful in alcohol, leaving a pleasantly clean palate.

Overall impression

A superb example of a Borderies aged in a wet cellar for more than 30 years.
