Prince de Didonne VSOP is a cognac from the Jonzac area of the Cognac region, made from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Petite Champagne and Fins Bois crus. Imported by Beauchamp Imports, it is bottled at 40% ABV.
The eaux-de-vie are double distilled in the traditional way and aged for five to seven years in oak casks from the Limousin and Tronçais forests, well beyond the minimum for a VSOP. The result is a cognac of a lovely amber colour, with aromas of oloroso sherry and amaretto, honeysuckle and jasmine, and a palate of vanilla, caramel and sweet baking spice.
Prince de Didonne has earned medals at the USA Spirits Ratings and the Bartender Spirits Awards, competitions judged by working bartenders and buyers, a testament to its quality and versatility.
With its elegant bottle and approachable style, it is a fine cognac for sipping and for classic cocktails alike.
Cognac must be made from white grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French oak, with age categories such as VSOP and XO describing the minimum age of the youngest brandy in the blend.
