Maison Rouge VS Cognac 750ml
DescriptionMaison Rouge VS brings a contemporary approach to traditional cognac, targeting modern consumers who appreciate quality but seek approachability. This newer brand focuses on creating cognacs that are immediately enjoyable while respecting traditional production methods. The result is VS that performs above its category, offering smoothness and complexity typically associated with older expressions.
The blend emphasizes fruit-forward eaux-de-vie that showcase cognac's natural appeal without heavy oak influence. Careful selection ensures only naturally smooth spirits enter the blend, minimizing the harsh edges sometimes found in VS. Modern temperature-controlled aging accelerates maturation while preserving delicate fruit flavors. The approach is contemporary, but the quality is timeless.
The appearance is bright and inviting—golden amber that promises freshness. The nose immediately shows the modern approach with clean, pure fruit aromas. Fresh grape and citrus dominate, supported by subtle vanilla and a hint of flowers. There's a brightness and clarity that makes it immediately appealing. On the palate, Maison Rouge VS surprises with its smoothness. Fresh fruit flavors lead, but there's enough complexity to maintain interest. The texture is notably soft, with excellent alcohol integration for such a young cognac. Oak influence is perfectly judged—present but not dominant. The finish is clean and refreshing, with fruit notes lingering pleasantly. This is VS for the modern era, perfect for cocktails but smooth enough for neat sipping.
