Seignette VS Cognac, 70cl, ABV 40%

Product Information

Palate: Rounded and fleshy. Oaky vanilla notes, without bitterness. A touch of citrus (orange peel) in the long, creamy finish. The amount of time spent in barrel defines the style of a Cognac. A VS will spend at least two years in oak; VSOP is aged for four years; and XO for 10 years. Above these classifications, the finest blends and vintage Cognacs can be aged for many decades. Cosaporto is a Rome-based outfit, now working in London, which has come up with the nifty idea of supporting local restaurants by delivering bottles from their cellars to your door. It has a huge range of single-bottle and multi-bottle offerings and a few ‘dinner to your door’ options, too. Probably the most common form of cognac available is VS cognac, so let’s break down exactly what this means, how to drink it, how it differs from other letters you might see and crucially, where to head to try some of the good stuff! What is VS Cognac? This is a cognac for those people who think cognac 'isn't for them', introducing a new style of enjoying the spirit, complete with a contemporary design and flavour profile. We hope the launch of Seignette will be a breath of fresh air for the cognac category in the UK market."

In short, where VS Cognac must be at least two years old, VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) must be four and XO (Extra Old) ten! There are older categories too so if you want to know more about what the different letters on cognac bottles mean, head here for a full breakdown with bottles to try from each. Unlike most VS bottles, Martel VS uses eaux-de-vie from only one distillery, so this is a richer, more intense spirit than most. Zesty citrus and sweet juicy plum play off against one another in a stand-out smooth texture.Generally, the more time cognac spends in the barrel the nuttier and richer it becomes. VS, on the other hand, tend to be more vibrant and fresher, so this isn’t a case of one being better than the other. How is VS Cognac drunk?

Over 40 different eaux-de-vie are blended for Hennessey VS which spends 2 years in French oak for a superbly full-bodied cognac carrying notes of dried fruits, subtle spice, and mellow vanilla. In fact, the entire age statement grading system was created by Maurice Hennessey so in a way, this is the definitive VS cognac! Although VS stands for Very Special, this is actually the youngest cognac age statement and other letters signify higher minimum ages. How Does VS Cognac differ to VSOP and XO Cognac?
