Château Latour is the epitome of power and bold concentration that is Pauillac. With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, the brilliant close knit tannin complimenting the vibrant cassis driven fruit is something to behold. It is often said that buyers of Latour worry about the wines they purchase will outlive them quite considerably such is the pedigree of such a wine. This is a definite concern for the 2009 vintage which is being reported as being the very best in living memory. The wine itself is a masterclass in concentration and power only with a robust and joyful front and mid-palate. Notes of blackberry and dark plum dance along with secondary characters of subtle oak and pencil shavings. A rambunctuous back palate that is almost thick and viscous that is truly forboding. Robert Parker Jnr has been quoted as saying

Prosper Delord was a travelling distiller who upon discovering Armagnac fell in love with the spirit and decided to start Maison Delord in 1893. Today Jerome and Sylvain Delord, Propers great grandchildren continue the tradition with the same passion, knowledge and love that has been handed down through the generations.

THE COLLECTION One hundred years after its foundation, Maison Audry is a proud to initiate a new journey with a first lot of cognac 100% Grande Champagne 78. The Collection is the purest expression of our savoir-faire perpetuated since 1878. The first release is a rare eau-de-vie, a very old Grande Champagne 78. This 49,4% “brut de fût” is a single cask 78 with an exquisite aromatic palette, a sensory voyage, an invitation to contemplation. Collection 78 features only 288 numbered decanters in limited edition, with its own handcrafted ceramic headdress. TASTING NOTES A first gourmet nose of candied fruits, apricots, figs. Once opened in the glass, subtle notes of mango compote and ripe apples appear, followed by pastry aromas, custard, and orange blossom. The olfactory finish takes you to fresh wood and cigar box notes. The palate reveals light tannin and great length, with a dominance of very ripe fruit that gives its beautiful naturally sweet roundness. A very slightly toasted hint on the finish. In a word, an outstanding and venerable Grande Champagne with a light rancio that has preserved all its fruit and freshness for great sweetness and a silky finish. Acacia amber color. ABV: 49,4%
