- Description
- Drouet & Fils Melina is a seven-year-old Cognac from the Charente, named after founder Patrick Drouet's daughter, and reflects a lighter, more elegant house style. The palate reveals layers of vanilla, violets, almond and cherry that develop from a perfumed nose through to a silky, refined finish. This is a Cognac built for contemplation rather than power. Best enjoyed neat as an aperitif or digestif.
