Tonight - The Spirits Project at Catherine Lombardi will feature
Grande Champagne Cognac XO 1978; Jean & Roger Glemet
Suggested Retail Price is $299. We will pour one ounce for $9.
We’ve got quite a special bottle for this week’s Spirits Project.
Jean and Roger Glemet produce rare single-vintage Cognacs of uncompromising quality and purity. Their beautiful family property, located just outside of Malaville in the Grande Champagne region, has been producing cognac for seven generations. Much of their 41 hectares (101 acres) of vines sits on hilly slopes made up of clay and limestone soil, giving it optimal sun-exposure. They differentiate their Cognacs based on vintage, a rare practice in Cognac.
From a region dominated by large, corporate producers, the 1978 is a wonderful example of a small-producer cognac with significant age that is just the kind of spirit we're all about in The Spirits Project.
