- Description
- A pre-phylloxera 1847 Lucien Foucauld cognac from Fine Champagne, bottled in the 1940s and now over 175 years old, represents an exceptional historical rarity. Cognacs of this age and provenance have undergone extraordinary oxidative transformation, developing deep amber color and intensely concentrated flavor. The alcohol content and exact cask history are unknown variables that add to its scarcity value. This is a collector's artifact rather than a drinking bottle, documenting French brandy production from the 19th century.
