Vallein Tercinier, Rue 75 – Fin Bois 1975, 47%

Introduction

Vallein Tercinier’s Rue 75 Fin Bois 1975 represents a remarkable chapter in Cognac’s history, showcasing the distinctive character of a single vintage from one of Cognac’s classic terroirs preserved through decades of careful maturation.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Grapes harvested in 1975 from the Fin Bois cru, a region known for producing round, supple eaux-de-vie that mature relatively quickly yet maintain excellent aging potential
• Distillation process: Traditional Charentais double distillation in copper pot stills, maintaining the authentic methods that have defined Cognac production for centuries
• Maturation: Decades-long aging in French oak casks, allowing the spirit to develop profound complexity while drawing vanilla, spice, and tannic structure from the wood
• Special techniques: Part of Vallein Tercinier’s “Rue” collection, representing single-vintage Cognacs that have been allowed to mature naturally with minimal intervention to preserve their unique character

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich dried fruits, mature oak, candied orange peel, with subtle notes of rancio, walnut, and delicate floral undertones
• Palate: Elegant balance between oak-derived spices, stewed fruits, and honey, complemented by tobacco, leather, and a distinctive nuttiness characteristic of well-aged Fin Bois Cognac
• Finish: Long, warming, and complex with lingering notes of dried apricot, toasted oak, baking spices, and a subtle tannic structure that provides excellent length

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature (18-20°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped Cognac glass or wide balloon glass
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat and unrushed, allowing time for the aromas to develop in the glass
• Food pairings: Dark chocolate with high cocoa content, dried fruits, or enjoyed in contemplative solitude as a digestif
