V&M 10 year old Brandy Symphony 700ml
Meet the V&M 10 Year Old Brandy Symphony – a true ode to craftsmanship, tradition, and timeless elegance. This exclusive brandy is the result of a remarkable collaboration between Armenian passion and French distillation precision, crafted by the prestigious Armenia Wine Company in the fertile Aragatsotn region. What makes this brandy truly special is its production using the traditional Charentais distillation method – a technique that originated in France and is cherished by the world’s most renowned cognac makers. Only grapes that are hand-picked at peak ripeness (with 18 to 20% natural sugars) are used. These are gently pressed and then distilled twice in copper stills, made by the esteemed Chalvignac Group – a supplier also trusted by names such as Hennessy and Rémy Martin. After distillation, the true masterpiece begins: an aging process of at least ten years in centuries-old French oak barrels, sourced from prestigious cooperages like Mercier and Seguin Moreau. These barrels impart depth of flavor and aroma to the brandy, developed only through the slow breathing of wood and time. The maturation takes place in a hand-carved cellar, deep within the basalt rock of Armenia – a natural storage environment that contributes to the exceptional balance and refinement of this spirit. At the heart of this brandy lies pure spring water from the Byurakan spring, which flows from the majestic Mount Aragats. The subtle minerality of this water adds a fresh dimension to the warm, velvety character of the brandy. With an alcohol content of 40%, V&M Symphony offers a harmonious composition of aromas and flavors – a tribute to Armenia’s musical heritage. During the aging process, the cellar resounds with the music of legendary composer Aram Khachaturian, infusing every drop with the soul of his compositions. This brandy is elegantly presented in a luxurious gift box – a refined gift for the true connoisseur or a sophisticated treat for yourself.
This exceptional Armenian brandy stands out with its deep amber hue, shimmering with copper and mahogany highlights, instantly evoking a sense of elegance and character. Upon uncorking, a refined aroma is released: a lavish blend of ripe fruit, toasted wood, and a hint of smoke that pleasantly surprises the nose. What truly sets this brandy apart is the complexity in both scent and taste. A touch of rancio adds an intriguing, almost mystical undertone, giving the whole experience an extra dimension. The taste is smooth and rich, with a velvety texture that glides gently over the tongue. Each sip reveals new nuances – from dried plums to subtle spices – all beautifully balanced. The finish is long and warm, with an almost silky aftertaste that reflects the character of the Armenian sun: gentle, intense, and unforgettable. This brandy is not just a drink, but an elegant experience – like a well-composed piece of music in which every note has its place. For the ultimate experience, it is recommended to serve the brandy at a temperature between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius. This allows the bouquet to unfold fully and the full flavor profile to be enjoyed at its best.
