Château Montifaud Réserve Spéciale Michel Vallet

This cognac is a special-reserve blend from Château Montifaud’s Petite Champagne vineyards, crafted as a homage by the Vallet family.
The eaux-de-vie are aged initially for about one year in new French oak barrels, then transferred to older barrels for further maturation – producing a cognac that balances maturity, character, and smoothness. It is presented in a heavy “Helios” decanter (70 cl) with a substantial glass base and a gold stopper – an elegant presentation that reflects its “Special Reserve” status.

Tasting Profile & Serving Suggestions

This cognac has a delicate floral aroma with hints of linden blossom, dried flowers, and vanilla. The palate is fruity and rich, with apricot and plum blending with subtle oak. The finish is smooth, mellow, and elegant, leaving a gentle woody note. Serve it neat in a tulip-shaped or balloon glass to enjoy its full aroma. It also pairs wonderfully with pear- or chocolate-based desserts. While it works in refined cocktails, its floral and fruity character shines best on its own.
