For the sophisticated drinker
with a diverse palette and a passion for the good life, Cognac is a must, which
is why we feature several on the Ideal Wine Company product list. Here are our
top three.
Cognac: The World’s Most Exclusive Brandy
Even in luxury wine, there are
certainly labels attached to certain products; champagne is for the celebrity
set, Bordeaux for the average collector with a little extra cash etc. Cognac, with
its gloriously heavy texture and rich flavour is for the expert; the truly
initiated wine collector.
A type of brandy with a
reputation for excellence unrivalled by any other in the world, Cognac refers
to Brandy’s made in the Cognac region of France, where the drink was invented
several centuries ago. The exclusivity of the label has made it a necessary
part of any wine collectors vault.
The Top Three from the Ideal Wine Company
However even with the limited
availability of a bottle with the Cognac label, there are a fair few to choose
from and you want a bottle that’ll fit right in with the calibre of the rest of
your collection. Why not start with these top three available from the Ideal
Wine Company:
1) Remy Martin XO Champagne Cognac: The
Remy Martin Label is one that is known for its high quality and the Remy

Champagne and 15% Petit Champagne, its pure class and available to you from the

2) Delamain Pale & Dry XO Grande Champagne

in taste alone. Noted as a blend of old Grande Champagne’s, it makes for a
mellow drink with a healthy palette of rich fruity flavours that burst on the

process. Get a bottle today from us for the budget defying price of £76.80.
