Brothers Blend is an elegant and fruit forward type of cognac, with soft and light wood notes, due to the ageing in mostly old barrels. It is made of a blend of eaux-de-vie of minimum 4 years old, up to 10 years old, mostly from the Fins Bois cru, with about one fifth of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.The delicate profile of Brothers Blend makes it a very versatile cognac, very approachable for sipping, as well as a very good mixing base for cocktails. Tasting notes - Nose: The nose is elegant and energetic, notes of cooked apricot, quince, white flowers, cinnamon and vanilla. Mouth: On the palate, Merlet Brothers Blend reveals delicate notes of white fruits (peach and apricot) and a subtle wood. A supple and balanced cognac with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Wine Enthusiast
A VSOP Cognac made from a blend of brandies aged four to 12 years, this easy sipper has a honey hue, with warm maple and dried apricot aromas. Light and smooth on the palate, look for more bold maple, honey and vanilla, building to a warm, clove-accented finish. Sip or mix.
Winemakers Notes
The Merlet family has been elaborating cognac for merchant houses since 1850. Five generations and over 160 years of experience as distillers have led the family to produce under their own name. Gilles Merlet actually started in the 70’s the cultivation of blackcurrants to diversify the distillery’s activities, and bottled fruit liqueurs first under his own label. It is in 2010, with his sons Pierre and Luc, that they began producing cognac under their brand, alongside their liqueurs. The family owns its own vineyard and distillery, therefore controls its wine sourcing, distillation, ageing, blending and bottling.
