How to taste

A tulip glass, room temperature, a minute of patience. Then nose, sip, wait.

01Look

Tilt the glass. The colour tells you the age.

02Nose

Three times: far, close, and with your mouth slightly open.

03Sip

A small one. Hold it. Let it warm.

04Wait

The finish of an XO lasts minutes. Count them.

Questions.

01How should I drink cognac?

Neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass. Let it rest a minute, nose it, then sip slowly. Younger cognacs are wonderful with ice or tonic.

02What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?

The age of the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend: at least 2 years for VS, 4 for VSOP, 10 for XO.

03Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, to 38 countries, insured, in a wooden case. Duties are calculated at checkout.

04Can I visit the house?

Yes, Tuesday to Saturday by appointment. Tours finish in the Paradis cellar with a tasting.

05Can I buy a cask?

Yes. We offer a small number of private casks each year, aged in our cellars for you.
