Cognac Les Antiquaires 1968 Grande Champagne

From a family story started in 1766, Les Antiquaires du Cognac slowly developed their expertise in the vineyards and the distillery. They make part of few Cognac houses dedicated to old vintages Cognacs.

Single cru certified vintages are aged minimum 40 years. They are extremely limited edition and only available for the best vintages. These rare vintages will exist only once. When they are gone, they are gone forever.

Presentation of the vintage:

The 1968 wine (Ugni blanc) vintage of Cognac has the lowest degree of alcohol of the century. The average 6.14% Alcohol by volume (ABV) of the 1968 wine testifies to the lack of maturity due to an excess of rain and cold during the growth cycle of the vine.

In 1968, in Champagne area, the sub-soil regulated the water abundance, giving beautiful and incredible wines with a high level of acidity 12.7, providing the base for legendary Cognacs.

It is an incredibly elegant and seamless Cognac that offers full bodied and layered notes of dried flowers, orange peel, plums, and toffee surrounded by the scent of leather and cigar box.

The mouth confirms the harmony and reflects the long stay in the cask: a mellowness, a richness, an incredible density. It is deep and nicely textured on the palate, with very little heat or sensation of alcohol. This beauty is fully mature with all finesse and elegance The Grande Champagne 1968 is otherworldly and a true gem.
