Maxime Trijol Grand Classique VSOP | Grande Champagne Cognac

The definitive expression of Maxime Trijol's house style. Grand Classique VSOP is a single-cru Cognac crafted exclusively from Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie — the most prestigious terroir in the Cognac appellation, defined by its deep chalky soils and the extraordinary finesse they lend to the spirit.

The Trijol family has been distilling in the Charente since 1859, and the Grand Classique is their flagship statement: traditional copper pot distillation, patient ageing in French Limousin oak, and a blending philosophy that prioritises elegance and balance over power. The result is a VSOP of real depth — rich and warming, yet refined and precise.

Expect aromas of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, and subtle floral notes, with a palate of dried apricot, toasted oak, and warm spice, leading to a long, silky finish with a characteristic Grande Champagne minerality.
