GASTON DE CASTELJAC COGNAC 1970

  • Ageing 1970 vintage, bottled in 70 cl
  • Cask Oak cask

This 1970 vintage from Gaston de Casteljac is a Grande Champagne Cognac with an amber robe tinged with mahogany, crafted from carefully selected natural white wines. The nose is elegant, revealing notes of candied fruit and Corinthian raisins. On the palate, the spirit shows structure and power while retaining a fine roundness and remarkable length, before a resolutely spiced finish. A rare bottle, bearing witness to many long years in oak cask, best reserved for lovers of characterful eaux-de-vie and special occasions. It is best enjoyed at 40% vol., neat, to appreciate every nuance.
