Mery-Melrose V.S.O.P. Grande Fine Champagne Cognac Review
This beautifully crafted V.S.O.P. veers off the beaten path of orchard and stone fruit aromas and instead serves bursts of tropical fruit, berries, and red flowers. The enjoyment continues onto the palate, where you'll soon encounter notes of toasted oak, raisins, and banana chips, and a finish that lasts an age.
