Older than the regulation asks, you will be seduced by our Napoleon.
This Cognac is a special quality: between VSOP and XO in the general ageing classification of Cognac, this cognac has also a special position in the Chateau Montifaud range; amber colour, notes of dry flowers, vanilla (very present), prune and dried fruits.
Copper colour, outstanding aromas: very complex nuances of dry flowers and dry fruits.
Hints of nuts and spices. Very soft tanins with an amazing and mellow but long length on the palate.
With a higher percentage, those that can appreciate a fine cigar and Cognac can look no further, as this will cut through the smoke and tannins with its robust flavour.
Enjoying this cognac will take you back to the past to meet the previous generations of the Vallet family and share their secret...
Matured to 50 years minimum.

With this cuvée, Alain Brumont wanted to make a sweet wine with a deep, complex fruitiness, characterized by notes of wild black fruit coulis. The Tannat offers here a unique taste experience and new style, with an aging potential similare to vintage Ports.
When tasted in early November 1999, the wines were tannic, concentrated and powerful, but very well balanced. Now at 20 years after the vintage, the 2000 holds on to its primary fruit whilst really starting to reveal the classic Musar identity, balancing out the characteristic sweet spice and desiccated fruit notes with more evolved elements of leather, tar, tobacco and a hint of game. These complex aromas and flavours are lifted with a fresh lick of acidity that will ensure the wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
The cooler 1998 has an elegant Cinsault dominance; the colour is lighter and more delicately perfumed than a typical vintage. Despite this initial impression, the wine is deceptively powerful with a vibrant acidity and fresh, soft red fruit flavours and a very long, spicy finish. The ideal partner to mushroom and game dishes.
Deep garnet in colour. Blackcurrants, blueberries prunes and strawberries on the nose with a hint of violets. A richly fruited wine – the palate bursts with an explosion of red cherries, strawberries, blackberries with a little black pepper and spice with a beautiful soft texture.
Deep salmon/orange-pink. Soft red fruit, peach and quince notes with an underlying subtle spice note in the background. Confirmation of the aromas with further soft red fruit flavour, as well as stone fruits which compliments the wine's refreshing and youthful acidity. Ideal as an aperitif or with Mediterranean salads, fish and charcuterie.

Medium yellow. Very pure aromas of ripe peach, lime and flowers, with a mineral
component and roasted botrytis tones. Penetrating and perfumed in the mouth, with
terrific cut and energy to its mineral-driven stone and citrus fruit flavors. Conveys
a strong impression of calcaire energy. Wonderfully balanced, deep, very long wine
with terrific finishing grip and aromatic clarity.
