Tasting Notes

Merlet Brothers Blend

Merlet Brothers Blend cognac was developed by Gilles and his two sons, Pierre and Luc. This “Assemblage des Frères” is intended to be of a new style, in the image of the new generation. The marriage of different vintages, some much older, makes it possible to develop a unique style: the youngest bringing vigor and power, and the oldest bringing complexity and maturity.

 

METHOD

A blend of eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of 4 years, from Fins Bois and Grande Champagne.

 

TASTE & AROMA

Elegant and energetic nose characterized by cooked apricot, quince, white flowers, cinnamon and vanilla notes. On the palate it reveals delicate notes of white fruits and a subtle wood.

Merlet Saint Sauvant 

Sélection Saint Sauvant is a blend of cognacs from the Merlet family that have reached their optimum maturity. Developed by Gilles and his sons, Pierre and Luc, fifth generation of Merlet Distillers, each blend is unique and produced in limited series. It is the result of an expert and rigorous selection resulting from a remarkable family heritage.

 

METHOD

A number is affixed to each new blend and guarantees the rarity of an exceptional Cognac. Bottled in 2016, Blend N°2 is made up of: very old blended cognacs (12%), 10-year-old Petite Champagne (30.4%), 10-year- old Grande Champagne (10.2%), Fins Bois 2001 (10.7%), Petite Champagne 1993 (10.2%), Fins Bois 1992 (10.1%), Borderies 1984 (4%), Petite Champagne 1971 and 1973 blended (8%) and Fins Bois 1948 (4 .3%).

 

TASTE & AROMA

The nose is intense and complex, dominated by spices (vanilla, Sechuan pepper and cinnamon) and a touch of wood. Then comes the ripe fruit (apricot, candied orange), followed by some floral notes (Jasmine). The palate is suave, round and finely woody.

Description

As cognac distillers for merchant houses since 1850, the Merlet family has a wealth of experience behind them. Across their own vineyards in the Fins Bois and Borderies there is 100 acres of flavoursome grapes with further partners across the Cognac region 
to add to the bountiful harvests. It wasn’t until 2010, however, that Merlet finally decided to bottle cognac under their own name. With a rich knowledge of the spirit, they created a unique cognac style which is both sublimely fruity and elegant.  ... less
