Tasting note
The Giraud family has grown vines at Bouteville in the Grande Champagne for eleven generations, since Pierre Giraud in 1635. Earlier generations sold their cognacs to merchants in Jarnac and Cognac; in 1975 Paul and his son Paul-Jean began marketing under their own name, so that the old and rare cognacs in the family cellars could be tasted without blending. The Très Rare is the penultimate step in the family's range, and this is it in the Quadro, a carafe of cristallin glass in a wooden case with a velvet bag.
Tasting. Strikingly intense, powerful in its spice and complex, yet very mellow at the finish. Pepper and clove come first and mingle straight away with leather and cigar box, then fruit follows as prune. Sommeliers say it spreads like a peacock's tail across the palate, a poetic way of saying that every part of the mouth is engaged.
Once the glass is empty it releases the rancio of very old eaux de vie, a scent the house compares to wax polish on old furniture. Cigar smokers adore it, and the family recommends it for connoisseurs.
