The next exceptional release in The Virtues series, following the acclaimed debut of Charity. Crafted in collaboration with Robert Bauer, this edition embodies the spirit of kindness through an extraordinary single-cask cognac.
From the heart of Petite Champagne, this exceptional cognac was distilled in November 1985 by Pierre Guedon, in a 25 hl gas-fired Charentais pot still, capturing the pure essence of the Ugni Blanc grapes.
It then slumbered for 40 years in a Limousin oak (wide grain) cask #224, where time, wood, and gentle care harmonized to create a spirit of profound depth and grace.
Bottled in November 2025 at cask strength (50.36% ABV) with no additives, it stands as a rare testament to patience, dedication, and the meticulous artistry of Jean-Luc Pasquet.
Every one of the 168 bottles embodies the quiet elegance, generosity, and timeless refinement that define this singular expression.
