FAQs For Maxime Trijol 1974 Vintage Fins Bois Cognac

How is it made?

This rare vintage is crafted from eaux‑de‑vie sourced exclusively from Fins Bois, a terroir known for producing fruit‑driven, floral Cognacs. Distilling the spirit in traditional copper pot stills, preserving purity and aromatic lift.

It then matures for decades in French oak barrels, developing honeyed depth, warm spice and silky texture. This long ageing reflects the house’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and the expressive potential of single‑vintage Cognac.

How should I store this vintage?

Store upright in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep the cork sealed tightly to preserve honeyed fruit and oak aromatics.

How long does it last after opening?

When stored correctly, it will remain enjoyable for many years, although its most delicate aromas are best appreciated within the first couple of years after opening.

Why is a single-vintage Cognac like this rare?

Unlike standard Cognac blends, which combine eaux-de-vie from multiple years. This bottling comes exclusively from the 1974 harvest, making it a genuine rarity tied to one specific year.
