Cognac De Luze - "Monsieur Alfred" Fine Champagne
This great classic is a tribute to the founder of the brand, Baron Alfred De Luze. It is made from a unique blend of 15 year old eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne: the two best terroirs of the Cognac region, whose blend is called Fine Champagne.
The nose offers first floral notes of carnations and rosehip, followed by fruity notes of prunes, dried apricots and almonds. Vanilla, walnut and a touch of pepper follow. Robust, it can be served with a few ice cubes.
In the heart of the Grande Champagne, the Boinaud family (also owner of the J. DUPONT Cognac) has been consolidated since 1640: 24 generations have given it a solid reputation. The story has only just begun. Like Alfred de Luze, Rémi and Charles Boinaud, both in their thirties, are working to preserve the values of the house: modernity and know-how.
The story of Alfred de Luze is comparable to that of Michel Boinaud who later became the owner of the brand. Starting from nothing, Alfred de Luze is an adventurer. As a young man, he lived between Paris, Le Havre and New York before moving to Bordeaux and creating his own trading house in the 19th century. In 1822, he created his own house, bearing his name, Cognac De Luze.
