Meukow VSOP Petite Champagne

Meukow VSOP Petite Champagne is an elegant and balanced cognac from Petite Champagne – the second most prestigious appellation in the Cognac region. Its hues range from golden to amber, with a delicate aroma of floral and fruity notes and a smooth texture, ideal for enjoying neat, with water or as a premium digestif.

After double distillation, selected eaux-de-vie from Petite Champagne and parts of Grande Champagne are aged for at least two years in French oak barrels. Master Blender Anne Sarteaux, one of the pioneers of this craft, carefully monitors the ageing process in an area called ‘Paradis’, where the natural ‘angel's share’ contributes to the finesse and complexity of the final product.

The nose is dominated by delicate notes of flowers, white fruit, soft oak and spices. The palate reveals notes of apricots, candied oranges and vanilla, complemented by hints of fresh honey and hazelnut. The finish is smooth and slightly spicy, complemented by sweet notes.

The Meukow family estate was founded in 1862 by the Meukow brothers, who brought cognac to the Russian tsar. Since 1979, it has been part of the Compagnie de Guyenne group, under the management of the Coste family. The Petite Champagne line has been strengthened since 2007 under the guidance of Anne Sarteaux, who preserves the brand's elegant style – powerful and supple like a panther, the brand's symbol since 1993.

The bottles are filled with 40 % alcohol and have a volume of 0,7 l.
