  Paul Giraud Tres Rare Grande Champagne 40 Years
 
 
Paul Giraud Tres Rare Grande Champagne 40 Years.gif
  A truly wonderful Cognac from one of the world's finest producers. WBW is delighted to be able to offer the Paul Giraud range to our customers

Colour: Golden-Yellow

Nose: Very soft complex nose, slight cloves and pepper

Palate: Warm, mid-length palate with slightly peppery final edge

There are many different brandies produced throughout the world; however, there is only one "cognac". This noble spirit originates from white wine grapes called Ugni Blanc. Produced only in the Cognac region of France, the wine is distilled twice in traditional Charentais copper pot stills. The finished product is clear and adopts its beautiful amber color after many years in French oak barrels. Under strict French law, cognac production methods and growing areas are clearly defined. The districts in order of quality are: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fin Bois, Bois Ordinaires. The combination of the two finest districts in Cognac produce the classification of "fine champagne"; ageing in barrels establishes the cognac's designation.

Paul Giraud is the best exponent of what a Grande Champagne origin cognac should be (and rarely is):
- Ethereal in its floral and fruity aspects on nose and palate.
- Expresses the “Peacock Tail Phenomenon” which is a delayed explosion of aromas after a return from the back palate.
