Compagnie de Guyenne, Distilleries de Matha négotians (but on the bottle cap "Mise en bouteille dans nos chais"), Moullon, Grande Champagne Brute, 1e Cru de Cognac, AC Cognac Grande Champagne, 41,6%. No indication of grapes used. L17 313 (= 2017 ?) EAN: 3257150126419 Compagnie de Guyenne is the owner of a.o. Meukow and Brugerolle Cognac. No indication of what a kind of Cognac it is (VS, VSOP or XO). They say the cognac is at least 8 yo, so it can be classified as an XO Cognac, but others say it is on AVERAGE 8 yo, and it tastes more like that, so young. Moullon is a small distillery, which is using only very old barrels for ageing, hence the very light color. They do not add colouring or sugars, which is a good thing and that you can also see and taste. TN: Very light colour, very, very light gold, but nearly clear as water. Also a very light body and it does not have much taste too, apart from a very light fruity sweetness (pear-like) and sharpness of the alcohol, the latter is clearly a fault. So, not a favourite of mine. I was in doubt between 78 or 79/100. S=79 R=6(27) 6/21/20
