A.E. Dor Embleme - 70cl

A.E. Dor Embleme Cognac is a refined blend of eaux-de-vie from the renowned Grande Champagne and Fins Bois regions. This "Napoleon" Cognac has been aged for a minimum of 14 years in Limousin and Troncais oak barrels, stored in dry cellars in Jarnac. The bottle and label are designed to reflect the rich history of the A.E. Dor house, with golden accents beautifully complementing the deep mahogany color of the cognac.

Flavor Profile: This cognac has a complex and expressive taste. The nose reveals strong aromas of vanilla and apricot, with a subtle hint of chocolate. On the palate, the same notes of vanilla and apricot are present, complemented by hints of caramel and spices. The aging in a dry cellar gives the cognac a slightly fiery character, while remaining smooth and elegant.

Ingredients: A.E. Dor Embleme is made from a blend of eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes, sourced from the Grande Champagne and Fins Bois regions. The cognac undergoes traditional double distillation in a charentais pot still.

Background: The A.E. Dor house was founded in 1858 by Amédée-Edouard Dor, a passionate collector of old cognacs. The company is known for its exceptional cognacs, some of which date back to before the phylloxera plague in 1874. Today, the company is led by Pierre-Antoine Rivière, who continues the tradition of craftsmanship and quality.

Serving Tips: A.E. Dor Embleme Cognac is best served at room temperature, around 20-22°C. It is an excellent digestif and pairs well with coffee, desserts, fruit, and chocolate. For an optimal tasting experience, the cognac can be enjoyed neat, allowing the complex aromas to fully develop.
