Essence de Gourmel
Grande Champagne X.O.

Origin : white wine, richer, stronger, more aromatic.

Visual : Sparkling gold.

The nose : Tender floral feeling, warm, enticing, with soft spices.

The palate : Supple, delicately buttery, leather, violet, straight and long and lingering finish.

Matching : A festive occasion, perfect after young vintage red wines or rich white wines.

Features : We buy the grapes from our neighbour in our family village located in the heart of Grande Champagne. We make the wine our way, we distill our way, and we age the cognac in un-toasted extra fine grain French oak casks. Pure vintage, strictly no additives, un-chill-filtered. The spirit of Gourmel.

Decanter : A unique packaging, the challenge of an air tight/water tight conic stopper in our own bottle with a decor totally un-matched. Winner of the 2000 best packaging of the year in France in the luxurious products category.

Distiller’s note : I can only explain the success of Essence by its immediate visual impact, the cognac won in November 2004 in Denmark a blind tasting of the best Grande Champagne.

Promenade en Cognac

Leopold Gourmel invites you to take a "Promenade", or stroll, through the natural aromas of cognac during its years of ageing. Through 3 cognacs of different ages, you can discover the evolution and progress of their aromas.
