A deeply pleasurable and intellectually stimulating collection of 10-20 year-old Cognac samplings from Leopold Gourmel.

Âge du Fruit: The flavorful roundness of candied fruit is stressed by a hint of citrus fruit.  Pair with white meat and high-end fish.

Âge des Fleurs: A velvety softness unfolding with a range of vanilla aromas. Ideal after a meal of game or red meat, or to prolong refined red wines.

Âge des Épices: Ample and peppery strength, rich with enveloping depth. Enjoy after a menu of several dishes served with rich and sun-filled wines.

Each of these three bottles is a third of a regular-sized "fifth."
