GASTON DE CASTELJAC COGNAC 1980

  • Ageing 1980 vintage, bottled in 70 cl
  • Cask Oak cask

This 1980 vintage from Gaston de Casteljac presents a beautiful amber colour, a fitting prelude to a refined nose marked by cinnamon and dried fruits. On the palate, the eau-de-vie is delicate and elegant, with a pleasing roundness and notes of candied fruits in fine balance. The finish is suave and lingers with the same elegance, never overstating its case. Drawn from Grande Champagne, this Cognac built for keeping reflects the house's artisanal expertise, born of slow distillation and patient ageing. Best enjoyed at 40%, neat or at the close of a meal, for a refined and gently rewarding tasting experience.
