Ryan, god bless his soul, ponied up $240 to snag this bottle, and I’m thankful he shared.
Remi Landier, which is a grower / producer located in the Fins Bois region, has released two versions of the Heritage, the first version being bottled at 43% and the second version (called the “Coupe No. 2”) was bottled at 45%. The Heritage (both bottles) contain some of the oldest cognacs produced by Remi Landier, which started distilling in the early 1970s. The Heritage is a blend of Fins Bois and Grande Champagne grapes.
Serge reviewed the Coupe No. 2 and gave it an admirable 90 points.
Here are my thoughts on the first iteration of the Heritage:
Nose: pears, buttercream, fig, slightly floral with some tangerine rind
Palate: orchard fruits and sweet cream flavors...butterscotch, mocha, toasted almond and honeysuckle,
Finish: really nice length for 43% and the creamy flavors really hang onto the mid palate for a while.
Thoughts: this is lovely brandy and I'd love to snag a bottle, but at its current price, the sticker shock alone is enough to prevent me from acquiring one of these, unfortunately.
Grade: an easy A minus
UPDATE: The new Coupe N.2 is $500sh which seems a bit steep.
