Rémi Landier L72-73 Fins Bois Journal des Kirsch N. 8 – 52,5%

The Rémi Landier L72-73 consists of two Fins Bois cognacs from the 1972 and 1973 vintages. These matured separately in 450-litre barrels made of Allier and Limousin oak until 1986. They were then married and left to rest in a dry cellar. In 2012, the excellent result was decanted into glass balloons, so-called demijohns, in order to transfer the “old bottle flavour” into the cognac.
With a natural cask strength of 52.5% vol. Bottled neither colored nor sweetened nor chill-filtered, stormy tropical notes collide with fine minerality and nougat melt.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Hints of Williams pear, roasted almonds, peach and apricot meet a strong minerality that is reminiscent of a mature GG Riesling TBA from the best location. The bouquet is complemented by notes of fresh grape must, grape seeds and wax that is reminiscent of an oil candle.
Palate: An intense, tropical opening with notes of freshly grated coconut, almond mousse, pear and dried vanilla. Ripe mango and fresh grass join in, accompanied by passion fruit and a nougat taste that is familiar from Swiss pralines.
Aftertaste: Long-lasting and very tropical.
