Jacques Cardin Cognac
By Doug Singer
H. Mounier joined forces with Sidney Frank, the American marketing and alcohol magnate, to launch Jacques Cardin VSOP cognac to the American market. Jacques Cardin, or JC Cognac, comes in a sexy, angular bottle, custom-made especially for Jacques Cardin. The luxurious bottle is topped with a stunning silver top, richly engraved with “JC”. The back of the bottle sports a rendering of the Fleur de Lys, or “Lily of France,” which represents purity, royalty, and immortality and is visible from the front through the amber hue of the cognac.
Created in Cognac, France, JC is made with a selection of Ugni-Blanc grapes chosen with extra special attention paid to the soil of the vineyards. A combination of these grapes adds complexity to JC. As JC is a VSOP (Very Special Old Pale), it is created with a blend of cognacs, each aged at least four years in small French oak casks. This special blend, developed by the cellar master spends its life in contact with wood, developing delicious aromas of wood tannins.
JC has an amber hue with deep golden reflections. It has an intense floral nose that reveals notes of vine flowers and some vanilla undertones. On the palate, it has a heady taste with a ginger and honey finish.
In addition to JC Cognac, available are two unique flavored versions: JC Apple VSOP and JC Jasmin VSOP.
JC Apple begins with a selection of wines, chosen for their aromas of pear, apricot, and apple. JC Apple has a lively nose that awakens with the aroma of freshly harvested apples. On the palate, a warm apple sensation yields to a finish of fresh green apple.
JC Jasmin is an exotic flavor made with a distillate imported from India. The nose is delightfully floral with undertones of herbs and tea while the palate is heady and stimulating.
All three flavors are available throughout the United States. Each is available in the 50ml, 200ml, 375ml, and 750ml sizes.
