Description
1975 Pierre Seguinot Grande Champagne Cognac
Vintage & Background
Pierre Seguinot is a traditional house based in Grande Champagne, the most prized of Cognac’s crus, known for producing eaux-de-vie with extraordinary finesse and longevity. The 1975 harvest was favourable, yielding grapes with excellent acidity and balance, allowing for long ageing in oak casks. Bottled after decades of maturation, this vintage Cognac offers a rare opportunity to taste the character of a single year.
Appearance & Nose
In the glass, it displays a deep amber hue with golden highlights. The bouquet is elegant and layered, opening with dried apricot, fig, and quince, followed by notes of orange zest, honey, and vanilla. Secondary aromas of polished oak, leather, spice box, and tobacco emerge with time, reflecting its long maturation in seasoned oak barrels.
Palate & Texture
The palate is rich yet refined, combining ripe fruit with savoury complexity. Flavours of dried stone fruit, candied citrus, caramel, and roasted nuts are wrapped in warming notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa. The texture is smooth and mouth-coating, with a silky depth that builds toward a long, lingering finish accented by spice and oak.
Maturity & Drinking Window
This Cognac is fully mature, showing the harmony and depth that only time can bring. While it can be cellared further, its balance of fruit, spice, and wood makes it ideal for drinking now, offering a contemplative experience that captures the essence of its vintage.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve at 18–20 °C in a tulip glass to highlight its aromatics. Sip neat to enjoy its complexity, or pair with fine dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or a handmade cigar. It also works beautifully after a refined meal with aged hard cheeses.
Overall Verdict
Pierre Seguinot’s 1975 Grande Champagne Cognac is a spirit of distinction and elegance. With layers of fruit, spice, and oak in perfect balance, it showcases both the finesse of Grande Champagne terroir and the artistry of long ageing. A rare vintage Cognac that offers both history in a glass and immense drinking pleasure.
