Harvest & Vinification
Made from exceptionally small lots of the same origin (unblended), from vintages at least 60 years old and bottled at Cask Strength. Audry believes that an appellation's qualities only come to the fore when they are tasted in their natural state, before distilled water has been added. Because natural reduction of alcohol is extremely slow and costly, very few Cognacs are made this way.
