Hints of nuts and spices.Very soft tannins with an amazing and mellow length on the palate. A great length on the palate with a gentle and powerful rancio.

A zesty white, with vibrant acidity buoying an exuberant range of tangerine, kiwi fruit, pink grapefruit granita and lime blossom notes. Sleek and well-knit, with spice and mineral accents on the finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.
This wine is so good; it tastes like mineral water filtered through your flower garden. Mosel Fine Wines gave it 91 points which is basically like 239 points to most reviewers.
-Importer notes (Vom Boden)
Chateau de Montifaud VSOP Cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie from the Petite Champagne region, aged for eight to ten years, with the first eight months being spent in new oak. This cognac is fruit centered, with subtle hints of pears, apricots, and floral notes. For its age this is truly a sophisticated cognac and quite a delicacy on the palate.
Eye: Deep amber.
Nose: Bursts of summer florals typical of this region. Linden flowers, elderflower and apple blossom are followed by ripe orchard fruits.
Palate: Sweet cider made from red apples. Pear juice and just a hint of almond lead to a long finish, somewhat unusual for a VS expression.
