Discover a premium experience with Vigier Latour, a new VS Cognac brought to you by the reputable Mounier house. This top-tier beverage is now available at the Elvi and Alkoutlet shop, making it an exciting opportunity for both seasoned connoisseurs and curious newcomers. With its impressive quality and attractive price, Vigier Latour promises to deliver a delightful tasting experience that is hard to resist.
What Makes VS Cognac Unique?
Understanding what sets VS (Very Special) Cognac apart is crucial before we explore Vigier Latour. Unlike others, VS Cognac must age for a minimum of two years in oak barrels. This aging process creates unique flavors and characteristics that define the spirit.
Vigier Latour has achieved this precise two-year mark, reflecting the fresh fruitiness typical of quality VS brands, while also showcasing classic oak influences. This combination makes it an ideal choice for those venturing into the world of Cognac, especially within the vibrant market in Latvia, where a wide selection may not always be accessible.
The Mounier House: A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The Mounier house, based in the heart of the Cognac region, has built a legacy over generations by creating exceptional spirits. Their dedication to traditional distilling methods, combined with modern innovations, allows them to produce high-quality products that reflect both history and contemporary tastes.
Vigier Latour embodies this legacy, merging age-old craftsmanship with the preferences of today's drinkers. Each sip reveals the expert balance achieved by skilled artisans who carefully craft this remarkable Cognac.
Tasting Notes of Vigier Latour
Vigier Latour delights the palate with an enticing array of flavors. Expect to experience slightly fruity notes of apricot and pear, seamlessly blended with hints of oak and vanilla.
Upon your first sip, you will encounter a smooth, warm texture typical of quality VS Cognac. The taste lingers with a gentle sweetness, making it perfect for sipping neat or incorporating into cocktails. For example, it elevates a Sidecar cocktail, transforming a classic drink into something truly memorable.
The Price Point: A Bargain Worth Considering
One of the standout features of Vigier Latour is its pricing. At Elvi and Alkoutlet, customers can enjoy this premium Cognac without the hefty price tag typically associated with luxury spirits.
In a marketplace where high-quality options can often exceed 50-100% more in price, Vigier Latour presents a wise choice for anyone looking to enhance their drinking enjoyment. It offers an outstanding value for its quality and age, making it an excellent gift for celebrations or a rewarding treat after a long day.
Perfect Pairing Suggestions
Pairing Cognac with food can significantly elevate your tasting experience. For Vigier Latour, you might consider the following combinations:
Rich Cheeses: Pair it with creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert. The rich texture of these cheeses complements the caramel notes in the Cognac beautifully.
Dark Chocolate: Indulge in dark chocolate or desserts with fruit preserves, which can enhance the fruity undertones in the spirit.
Another excellent pairing is a light seafood dish, providing a refreshing contrast that balances the richness of the Cognac while letting its nuances shine through.
How to Enjoy Vigier Latour
Vigier Latour can be enjoyed in various ways, allowing you to choose your favorite experience. Here are a few suggestions to explore:
Neat: For the classic experience, serve Vigier Latour in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature. This method allows the aromas to concentrate for a more profound flavor engagement.
On the Rocks: If you prefer it chilled, serve over ice. This slight dilution will enhance the fruity flavors as the Cognac gradually warms up on your palate.
In Cocktails: Use Vigier Latour as a base for delightful cocktails. Try it in a classic Sidecar or mixed simply with tonic water and a twist of lemon for a refreshing drink.
