- Description
- This 1878 Grande Champagne Cognac from Augier Frères, likely the first Cognac house, was bottled in the 1920s and remains in impressive condition for its age. Decades of maturation have mellowed the spirit into a complex blend of dried fruit, subtle oak, and honeyed warmth. The palate is elegant and restrained, with a silky texture that speaks to careful cellaring across a century. A collector's piece for those who appreciate cognac as a historical document as much as a drinking experience.
