Ryan's Review
Oh look, another Vallein-Tercinier review. This one is a 1971 Petite Champagne. 47% abv.
Nose: honey, fruit syrup, mint, cedar
Taste: Juicy. Berries. Strawberries, blueberries. Also citrus. Lime, oranges. There’s mint, eucalyptus. And then a wave of pineapple, mango, and some dark chocolate.
Finish: Like many VTs there is a freshness that comes through in the finish that is very nice. Along with the fruits there is some oak here, but it's subtle, not drying.
It's a very lively cognac for its age. Juicy and fresh. Different than some of the Grande Champagnes I’ve had from Vallein Tercinier which highlight a more perfumey and guava-centric profile. Anyway, it’s not not excellent.
