Tasting note
Normandin-Mercier was founded in 1872 near La Rochelle by Jules Normandin, and today Edouard Normandin carries on the house's work of ageing and blending Grande and Petite Champagne. The Très Vieille is a Grande Champagne cognac that the house calls a living witness to its founder's work, with more than a century of ageing in the family cellars. It reaches 40% naturally, with no need for reduction, and it wears the plainest of labels.
Colour. Coppery mahogany with reddish copper glints.
Nose. Candied and dried fruit lead, with roasted tones of chocolate, grilled coffee and smoke. Then rancio, recalling port and a cellar of old brandies, old cask and cigar box, and spice in the form of cinnamon, vanilla, liquorice and saffron. Lighter touches of rose, tobacco, lime blossom and honey sit behind.
Palate. Broad, powerful and aromatic: dried fruit, rancio, roasted notes, vanilla and wood, then a very long finish. The house sums it up as very complex, subtle and harmonious, a cognac to be tasted with reverence. The rest of the house range is in our Normandin-Mercier collection.
