Park VS Carte Blanche Cognac

Cognac Park VS Carte Blanche

Vibrant, Fresh, Purely Aromatic The ultimate expression of youthful energy and House style.

Cognac Park VS Carte Blanche represents the House’s "blank slate" approach to cognac making focusing on purity of fruit and aromatic clarity above all else. By blending eaux-de-vie from the Petite Champagne and Fins Bois crus, Park has created a VS (Very Special) that avoids the heavy woodiness often found in younger spirits. Instead, it offers a crisp, lively profile that celebrates the natural essence of the Ugni Blanc grape.

The Beauty of Minimalist Distillation

At Cognac Select, we appreciate the precise technique behind the Carte Blanche. Like all Park cognacs, it is distilled without the lees (the sediment from fermentation), which results in a lighter, more floral spirit that is less prone to "heavy" or "fatty" aromas. Aged in fine-grained Limousin oak for several years, the wood influence is carefully managed to ensure that the vibrant citrus and spring flower notes remain the star of the show.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A pale, brilliant straw-gold with shimmering clarity.

Nose: Bright and uplifting. It opens with an immediate burst of white flowers and vine blossoms, followed by fresh notes of lemon zest, crisp pear, and green apple. A subtle hint of white pepper adds a touch of spice.

Palate: The attack is clean and lively. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh, mirroring the nose with flavors of freshly cut fruit and honeyed citrus. The texture is light and fluid, making it exceptionally easy to enjoy.

Finish: Short, crisp, and refreshing. It leaves a clean trail of floral sweetness and a delicate, drying touch of oak.
