- Description
- This 1878 Grande Champagne Cognac from Augier Frères, arguably the first Cognac house, was bottled in the 1920s and survives in remarkable condition. Over a century of maturation has developed subtle layers of dried fruit, honeyed oak, and waxy richness on the palate. The spirit is elegant and restrained, moving silkily across the tongue with a long, warm finish. An exceptional collector's piece for those who value historical provenance and the refinement of very old cognac.
