Cognac Jean-Luc Pasquet – Trésors de Famille – Le Cognac de Charles 1998 – Petite Champagne – 52.7%
Rooted in the heart of the Cognac vineyard, Maison Jean-Luc Pasquet stands as an essential reference for artisanal cognacs from Grande and Petite Champagne. Heir to a family savoir-faire passed down through generations, the house produces exceptional eaux-de-vie in small quantities, preserving authenticity and purity of expression. Its prestigious Trésors de Famille collection brings together unique casks, carefully selected for their character and intensity, true witnesses of the estate’s history and heritage.
Le Cognac de Charles 1998, crafted exclusively from the Petite Champagne terroir, perfectly illustrates the aromatic richness and longevity of this renowned cru. Distilled in 1998 and aged for over 25 years in oak casks, this cask strength cognac at 52.7% combines power and elegance in an extremely rare limited edition. Presented as a major release for autumn 2025, it already stands out as a prized choice for collectors and connoisseurs in search of a singular and authentic cognac.
Awarded an excellent 91/100 score by Serge Valentin (Whiskyfun), this cognac charms with a complex nose dominated by dried fruits, candied mirabelle, beeswax, sweet spices, and blond tobacco. The palate is ample and velvety, revealing remarkable aromatic richness: stewed yellow fruits, honey, citrus peel, and delicate woody notes. The long, fresh, and racy finish leaves a refined and gourmet impression. A true collector’s cognac, it stands as an absolute favorite, to be savored or gifted, symbolizing excellence and rarity.
