Marnier’s VSOP Cognac is a ‘Fine Champagne’, meaning it is blend of eaux-de-vie from Cognac’s Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne production areas. The eaux-de-vie are aged in French oak casks, where they acquire aromas and complexity from the wood. Finally, they are blended by Marnier’s Cellar..

Master at the Château de Bourg-Charente, in the heart of the Cognac region.
