COGNAC PAUL GIRAUD & Fils is a family-owned estate located in Bouteville, a small village in the heart of Grande Champagne, the premier cru of Cognac. The estate has been passed down from father to son since 1635. Paul Jean Giraud, born in 1952, is the 10th generation to lead the domain. In 1975, Paul Jean and his father founded Cognac Paul Giraud, and the brand was established in 1976 with the beginning of bottling. For five years, Paul Jean developed his sales in France before beginning to export in 1980. Currently, their cognacs are distributed selectively in France, in fine grocery stores, wine shops, and restaurants, and are exported to more than 35 countries around the world. In continuation and transmission, Paul, son of Paul Jean (11th generation), works alongside his father. They share the same passion and have a common vision for the sustainability of their know-how.
I love this strong and deep grape flavor [Mr.Mayer]
About ten years ado, I bought this Paul Giraud Extra Vieux 25 Year Old and Hennessy XO for my father. And we drunk them. My farther seemed that he liked Hennessy XO better than Paul Giraud Extra Vieux because Hennessy XO aroma is more supreme and noble. I agreed with that but I thought Paul Giraud Extra Vieux's taste was more straight and powerful that remind us Cognac is mede from good grape. This time after drinking this, I did have same impression.
It's not as delicious as something aged for 35 years, but it's still definitely tasty. [Bar Jam]
Sometimes you just crave Paul Giraud, don't you? Well, if I'm going to drink it, I'd prefer the 35-year-old, but it's expensive. This one is relatively affordable and still quite delicious. I like it.
