Méry Melrose Organic VS Cognac

An award-winning and vivacious Cognac, the Méry Melrose Single Estate VS Organic Cognac glows with life and dry, fresh flavor. Made in harmony with the natural elements of the Grande Champagne cru, also known as the Premier Cru, it is a fresh expression of everything that is so coveted about this terroir.

Méry Melrose Cognac prides themselves on producing artisanally and organically. This VS Organic Cognac is made using Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Montils grapes in the undulating region of the Grande Champagne. This terrain is known for its chalky soil with a limestone subsoil that means excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure. The presentation of the Melrose VS ties in beautifully with the other Cognacs of their series; the labeling is a tribute to the prehistoric wall paintings and figures found in French caves.

Produced entirely in-house, Méry Melrose harvest their organic certified grapes, double distill with certain barrels receiving their first reduction soon after distillation, age in French barrels and then blend the eaux-de-vie themselves. The barrels are aged in 400 liter Limousin oak casks in their family cellars, using both new and used wood.

It is bottled at 70 and 75 cl, and contains 40% ABV. This Cognac is certified by Ecocert FR BIO 01 and NOP Certified in the USA.
