Fantastic experience at Cognac Bertrand!
Cognac Bertrand的点评
点评：My wife and I had a tremendously informative and enjoyable private visit at Cognac Bertrand yesterday. We were initially greeted by Jean Francois, who directed us to the main house, where we met Seph (the distillery cellar master) for our guided tour. He initially outlined the family history, as Bertrand is a family owned and run business--with a strong influence from the women in the family. His wife Therese currently runs the marketing side of the business, and her grandmother Simone ran the entire estate for many years after the passing of her husband in the early 1990s. Her brother Samuel is now in charge of the vines and production.
Seph also covered the geological / agricultural history of the region, along with annual cycle of the growing process, before moving on to the distillation and aging aspects. Overall very informative, and he answered all questions about the growing, production and maturation of the final product.
Ah yes, now on to the tasting! We were presented with three cognacs to sample--VS, Napoleon, and XO, along with a Pineau Rouge and Pineau Blanc. There was also a tray of sweet and salty snacks to pair (fresh cherries, chocolates, macaroons, quiches) to enhance the experience. The VS is very good, despite its young age--I could see this (or the VSOP) as a perfect starter for cognac-based cocktails. The Napoleon is really the sweet spot in the lineup regarding quality and value. But the XO truly shines in its roundness (that's for you, Seph) and complexity. Both Pineaus make a fine aperitif.
Highly recommend a visit to Bertrand if you're ever in this area. I would call or email in advance to check on availability, as they are a small family operation. Therese was very responsive and accommodating as we were passing through on a specific day.
Thank you, Seph for a fantastic day! Now, I just need to figure out how to buy this in the US...

翻译：昨天，我和妻子在干邑贝特朗酒庄（Cognac Bertrand）进行了一次非常愉快且收获颇丰的私人参观。Jean Francois首先接待了我们，并带我们去了主屋，在那里我们遇到了酒庄的酿酒大师Seph，他带我们参观了酒庄。Seph首先介绍了家族历史，因为贝特朗酒庄是一家家族企业，深受家族女性的影响。他的妻子Therese目前负责酒庄的市场营销，而她的祖母Simone在丈夫于20世纪90年代初去世后，接手了整个酒庄多年。她的兄弟Samuel现在负责葡萄种植和生产。
Seph还介绍了该地区的地质/农业历史，以及葡萄种植的年度周期，然后才讲解了蒸馏和陈酿的细节。总的来说，Seph讲解得非常详细，解答了所有关于种植、生产和最终产品成熟度的问题。
对了，现在开始品酒吧！我们品尝了三款干邑——VS、拿破仑和XO，以及Pineau Rouge和Pineau Blanc。此外，还准备了一盘甜咸搭配的小食（新鲜樱桃、巧克力、马卡龙和蛋奶酥），提升了体验。VS虽然年份不长，但品质极佳——我觉得它（或者VSOP）是搭配干邑鸡尾酒的完美开胃酒。拿破仑在品质和性价比方面堪称完美。而XO则以其圆润（Seph，这可是你的功劳）和复杂度而更加出色。这两款Pineau都是绝佳的开胃酒。
如果您有机会到访Bertrand，强烈推荐您光临。由于他们是一家小型家族企业，我会提前打电话或发邮件询问是否有空位。由于我们恰好路过，Therese非常热情周到，并且乐于助人。
感谢Seph，让我们度过了美好的一天！现在，我只需要弄清楚如何在美国购买它......
