Grand Pommier XS VSOP is a single-estate, small-batch Grande Champagne cognac presented in a unique 375ml bottle with a cigar sealed inside, a striking pairing of two classic after-dinner pleasures. It is bottled at 42% ABV.
All of the grapes come from Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac and its most prestigious growing area, prized for eaux-de-vie of finesse and longevity. The cognac is aged roughly five to ten years, giving it a mahogany and copper colour.
On the nose come apple, vanilla, brown spices and cinnamon, and the long ageing gives the cognac a smooth, rounded character that pairs naturally with a fine cigar.
The tall, slender bottle holds a cigar in a sealed glass tube inside the cognac, visible through the label. It is a novel, conversation-starting gift for a cigar lover and a memorable addition to a bar.
Pour the cognac into a snifter, warm it gently in the hand, and enjoy it alongside a cigar on a quiet evening. Cognac and cigars have long been natural companions, the brandy's fruit and vanilla softening the tobacco's richness. The half-bottle size makes it an easy gift to include in a cigar lover's present, or to bring to a celebration where a cigar will be lit.
