Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished French VSOP Cognac presents a beautiful golden colour with deep amber highlights of exceptional brilliance and depth, housed in ABK6’s exclusive square-shouldered bottle — a design that affirms the brand’s modernity whilst respecting the tradition and uncompromising quality of the product. A Cognac that is as visually distinctive as it is exceptional in the glass.
Aroma
The nose is immediately captivating, with lovely aromas of subtly spiced wood, brioche cake and cinnamon creating a beautifully warm and elegantly expressive aromatic profile of genuine distinction. The bouquet reflects the exceptional quality of the most emblematic eaux-de-vie selected by the ABK6 Cellar Master from the Domaines Francis Abécassis estates — aromatic, intense and deeply expressive of the fruit of the vine and the lightness of the perfumes.
Palate
Harmonious and indulgent on the palate, with a beautifully balanced association of fruit and wood aromas of exceptional depth and refinement. Notes of candied fruit, stewed apples and spices deliver a richly textured and deeply satisfying flavour profile of outstanding complexity and genuine originality. The finish is delicate and gradually evolving — ending gracefully on notes of fruit jellies and spices of enduring elegance and distinction.
Pairs With
This exceptional ABK6 VSOP Superior Cognac is a natural companion to brioche, spiced apple tart, candied fruit, soft-ripened cheeses, charcuterie, or enjoyed neat in a tulip glass as a contemplative digestif — making it an outstanding gift and a genuinely original expression of independent Cognac craftsmanship.
