COGNAC MARNIER V.S.O.P. EXCELLENCE IS A FAMILY TRADITION The wondrous blending of bitter orange and carefully aged cognac provides Grand Marnier with its unique taste and international reputation. The same care and attention to detail that has made Grand Marnier one of the world's most beloved pleasures, has been applied to the creation of Cognac Marnier V.S.O.P. Fine Champagne. The finest vineyards of the Cognac region are situated and Petite Champagne. It is here that a harmony exists between soil, sun and rain... the ideal environment for Cognac Marnier. In the Chateau de Bourg, not far from these legendary vineyards, we begin a process that has been perfected over genera-tions. Masters of the art supervise the pressing, fermentation and distil-lation of the grapes, according to an ancient method evolved at the end of the 17th century. Oak barrels from the Limousin Forest are used exclusively in the aging process. Slowly over time, in the darkness, the tannin in the oak coaxes the evolution of colour and character, while the barrels lay at rest in the sprawling cellars of the chateau. Eventually, under the watchful eye of our "cellar master", mature barrels are selected and carefully blended to create a beautifully balanced cognac that has been sufficiently aged to earn the distinctive V.S.O.P. designation. V.S.O.P. stands for Very Superior Old Pale and indicates the cognac contains blends that are least five years old or more. The deep bouquet, the unique flavour and lengthy finish of cognac Marnier are also earning the admira-tion of those who appreciate excellent cognac. In sampling and taste tests, Cognac Marnier has been rated superior to the world's most popular cognac's Each bottle proudly bears the words, Fine Champagne, which is an indication of its noble beginnings. And it is your assurance that the grapes used to produce Cognac Marnier originate in the two most desirable areas within the legendary Cognac Region, Grande and Petite Champagne. It is difficult to analyze excellence. It can rarely be attributed to one isolated component. More often it is a combination of elements working together. It is just as difficult to describe excellence. It can only be appreciated by experience. So if you enjoy a fine cognac, to celebrate a special event or a memorable meal, complement the moment with Cognac Marnier V.S.O.P. You will be ex-periencing excellence, and all the elements that have created it. Every warming sip reveals the richness of the cognac grape, the knowing touch of the cellar master and the gentleness created by the long aging process. Cognac Marnier V.S.O.P.
