De Luze VS Cognac 375ml

De Luze VS Cognac in the convenient 375ml format represents one of cognac's oldest houses in an approachable size. Founded in 1822, De Luze has maintained its independence and commitment to traditional methods while many competitors have consolidated. This VS expression showcases their philosophy that quality should be accessible at every level, with the smaller bottle perfect for exploration.

The blend combines eaux-de-vie from multiple crus, emphasizing freshness and vibrancy while maintaining the elegance De Luze is known for. Despite being VS, the selection process is rigorous, choosing only spirits that show exceptional potential even in youth. The color is bright golden, promising the liveliness within. The nose opens with fresh fruit notes—green apple and white grape—supported by subtle vanilla and a hint of flowers. The cleanliness of the distillation is immediately apparent.

On the palate, De Luze VS shows remarkable refinement for its age. The texture is light and fresh, carrying flavors of citrus, pear, and gentle spice. The integration is impressive—no harsh edges or burning alcohol, just smooth, approachable cognac that invites another sip. The oak influence is minimal, allowing the fruit character to dominate. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and vanilla notes. This 375ml bottling is perfect for those curious about De Luze or seeking a quality VS for cocktails. It demonstrates that historic houses can maintain standards even at entry level.
