Godet VSOP Special Cognac 700ml

Discover the Heritage of Godet Cognac

Founded in 1588 in La Rochelle, France, Godet stands as one of the oldest family-owned Cognac houses, having been lovingly passed down through 15 generations. This continuity ensures a deep connection to traditional methods, combined with a maritime influence that is unique to its Atlantic coastal location. At Godet, crafting Cognac is not just a business; it’s a timeless, familial art form that honors history while engaging the present.

Artisanal Craftsmanship and Terroir

The Godet VSOP Special Cognac is a meticulously crafted spirit that embodies the essence of some of Cognac’s most prestigious crus. This special blend predominantly features:

• Petite Champagne for its finesse and floral elegance.
• Borderies with its signature roundness and nutty tones.
• Fins Bois lending a lush fruitiness and robust structure.

Each of these crus has been expertly chosen to create a harmonious and sophisticated profile.

Masterful Aging Process

Aged for up to 10 years in French oak barrels, the Cognacs mature in the unique microclimate of Godet’s ocean cellars. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean imparts subtle salinity and an exceptional roundness, signature characteristics that differentiate Godet’s style from all others. In these conditions, the eaux-de-vie develop complex layers of aroma and flavor, from floral notes to nutty aromas and hints of peach jam.

Tasting Excellence: A Journey Across Your Palate

The Godet VSOP Special mesmerizes with an amber-gold hue, setting the stage for a sensory journey. On the nose, it’s an aromatic delight with floral notes, earthy woodiness, and a gentle nutty undertone of hazelnut. Fruity scents of peach jam heighten the experience.

On tasting, a mellow, velvety texture greets the palate. Its flavor is generously vast, balancing between the nutty richness of hazelnuts and the sweetness of peach jam and honeycomb. The Cognac unfolds with nuance, revealing complex notes of roasted nuts, toasted brioche, and a hint of zesty lemon peel. It finishes with a persistent and suave flourish, leaving an elegant aftertaste marked by smooth oak and sweetness.

Perfectly Versatile: Serve with Finesse

This Cognac shines when served neat, fully showcasing its complexity and depth. For those looking to explore further, adding a splash of water or an ice cube can unveil new aromatic dimensions. While it holds its own in premium cocktails, the quality of Godet VSOP Special is token to slow sipping, enjoyed best at a thoughtful pace.

A Presentation of Distinction

Each 700ml bottle is emblematic of elegance and history, featuring the Godet coat of arms—a signifier of the family’s enduring maritime heritage. The presence of Godet VSOP Special in an elegantly packaged gift box makes it an ideal gift for any Cognac aficionado. With numerous international accolades, including a Double Gold at the San Francisco Wine & Spirit Competition, this Cognac stands out as a celebrated and recognised spirit of quality.

Pairing and Gifting Suggestions

Pair it with traditional choices like aged Comté or Brie de Meaux for a classic accentuation of its flavors. If a sweeter venture suits your mood, opt for peach cobblers or almond tart. Indulging in a narrative of heritage and refined sophistication, Godet VSOP Special enhances any occasion and resonates with any collector or gift recipient yearning for a touch of historical elegance.
