{"product_id":"paul-giraud-cognac-vsop-8yrs-grande-champagne-40-700ml","title":"Paul Giraud Cognac VSOP 8 years Grande Champagne 40% 700ml","description":"The Paul Giraud VSOP Cognac is a wonderful example of how classically elegant a Cognac of this quality can be. Created solely from eaux-de-vie from the premier cru, Grande Champagne, you can enjoy this traditionally produced delight in a number of ways. It's delicious neat, perhaps in a balloon glass warmed gently in the hand in the time-honoured traditional manner. But it's also exceptional within a cocktail or with a mixer over ice.\n\nOne of the reasons this is a stand out VSOP is because the age of much of the Eaux-de-vie within the blend is around 8 years, which is double the legal minimum. These extra years lead to a maturity seldom found in a Cognac of this level. Another talking point is that the house of Paul Giraud carries out their harvesting by hand–something rarely seen now in this age of automation and machinery. A great Cognac to own, and one that would be happily received as a gift by any lover of fine things.\n\nNose: Earthy nose, with a touch of creaminess, slight grapiness.\n\nPalate: pleasant, light, grapy elegance of Cognac, light and poised, earthy-nicely, creamy, honeyed.\n\n \n\nFor more from Paul Giraud, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spiritsoffrance.com.au\/product_producer\/paul-giraud\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Paul Giraud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39907151118524,"sku":"PGVSOP","price":157.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3252\/4476\/products\/paul-giraud-cognac-vsop-8-years-grande-champagne-40-700ml-472702.jpg?v=1688833995","url":"https:\/\/www.spiritsoffrance.com.au\/products\/paul-giraud-cognac-vsop-8yrs-grande-champagne-40-700ml","provider":"Spirits of France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
