COGNAC LARSEN NEW COGNACS COME WITHOUT AN AGE DESIGNATION

Cognac Larsen has just launched a neat collection of cognacs with a focus on aroma and flavor rather than the traditional VS/VSOP/XO age designation.

Larsen offers a Summer and a Winter blend in hope to provide bartenders with a cognac option for the summer and another for the winter cocktails.

Larsen Summer and Winter Blend 2016. No Age Statement.

In 2013, Rémy Cointreau sold Larsen Cognac to Altia, less than one year after acquiring the brand itself. Altia already acquired Renault a couple of years prior. Late 2015, Altia appointed former BNIC communications head Jérôme Durand as managing director for its Larsen and Renault Cognac brands.

The ‘spirit of adventure’ is the new positining and new concept that Cognac Larsen will interpret in its future communications.

MIXING WITH PERRIER. WHAT IS NEXT? SAUTERNES

I hear that a Bordeaux wine estate is using its Sauternes wine to produce an aperitif drink to be mixed with Perrier water.

The Cathiard family of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte is to launch a light Sauternes wine called 'So Sauternes' made from one of its newly acquired estate.

'SO Sauternes' has been described as a modern-style Sauternes made from young vines in a light style, and is aimed at being mixed with Perrier and ice.

So Sauternes

Already there is the plan to get a high speed train through the region now with this kind of product people are worried it might hurt the image of Sauternes wines. Perhaps it is all about staying hype and recycle the different generations.

SoSAU for the younger generations and Sauternes for the same people when they get to be older.

Perhaps there is an idea here for Pineau-des-Charentes, the not 'So' trendy aperitif sweet wine mixer!
