“Attractive amber/honey hue. Ideal purity. The first sniff of black pepper and old oak gives way to spicy, floral notes. Then resin, wet slate and dried herbs. Bold aroma, much virility. The palate entry is bittersweet savour.”

Technical sheetTHE AUDRY QUALITY
Since its inception, quality has always been a priority for the Audry House. Their cognacs are a blend of eaux-de-vies gleaned exclusively from Petite and Grande Champagne regions. The specific soil where these grapes are grown offers great potential for a long aging process, allowing rich and complex notes to develop. The longer the aging process, the more voluptuous the finish, inviting a complexity based on powerful flavours that are balanced out with lighter notes. The progression of the tasting allows one to fully appreciate the beautifully smooth body of this exquisite tipple.
When Aristide Boisson passed away in 1950, he left precious casks of eaux-de-vies forgotten in the family cellar. There, they remained patiently until 1984, when Bernard Boisson, his son, discovered these precious casks. With 40 years to develop under perfect conditions, this priceless collection of eaux-de-vie has matured into an exceptional and rare treasure.
