This gift set represents 120 years of ageing in the cellars of the Domaine des Forges, owned by the Vallein Tercinier family. In addition to this impressive era, it offers the taster the opportunity to compare three prestigious Cognac appellations. VALLEIN TERCINIER 1967 Grande Champagne - 55.5%. Profile: the elegant initial nose is in turn vanilla, floral and fruity. Allowed to breathe, it reveals citrus fruits (orange, lemon) and dried fruits (almond, walnut). The medium palate reveals noble spices (saffron, pink pepper), while the very exotic finish (mango, passion fruit) is also slightly salty. Gradually it becomes honeyed (lime blossom) and fine (gentian). VALLEIN TERCINIER 1977 Petite Champagne - 59.55%. Profile: the nose is initially marked by notes of caramel, citrus, candied fruit, chocolate and heady floral notes. Allowed to breathe, the spices take over as it becomes increasingly medicinal (balsam) and camphoric. The lively attack is also milky. The midpalate is like quince or even spice bread. The silky finish reveals essential oils (ylang-ylang). VALLEIN TERCINIER 1987 Bons Bois - 62.8%. Profile: The initial nose reveals apricot and wax and is marked by citrus fruits (oranges). Allowed to breathe, it becomes floral (violets), chocolatey and malty. The mid-palate adds a still warm apple tartness.
