A private lunch with friends (at home): Well-priced, well-aged Grande Champagne Cognac, fresh and energetic, chalk and candied orange, floral lift and nutty complexity, hint of heat on the finish. A great way to finish an excellent meal.

A private dinner with friends (at home): Approximately 25 years old, organic farming, no caramel or tannins added. Delightful as always, silky smooth, chalky freshness and ripe orange fruit, with a hint of spicy vanilla, rounded and supple but pure and energetic, delicate but intense, feminine style with a lovely floral lift, linear and long, hint of almonds on the long finish. Very charming rather than really profound, but I can't help loving it for its finesse and sheer drinkability. A firm favourite, very lively and engaging for its age. That's the terroir for you!

A private dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Spiced orange fruit and chalk, hints of nuts and caramel, harmonious and fresh, silky texture, rounded and elegant, floral and lifted finish with candied oranges, some back-end heat but good length.
