In the glass, Boulard VSOP presents a warm amber hue with golden highlights, reflecting its extended maturation in oak. Its rich colour hints at the complexity and depth that await on the nose and palate.
Nose:
The aroma is vibrant and expressive, leading with notes of ripe orchard apples, layered beautifully with vanilla, dried apricots, toasted oak, and subtle floral undertones. Hints of cinnamon and soft spice emerge as it opens up, offering a complex and inviting bouquet.
Palate:
Smooth and well-rounded, the palate delivers a harmonious blend of baked apple, pear, and caramelised sugar, balanced by gentle spice, nutmeg, and creamy vanilla from the oak. The texture is velvety, with a light tannic structure that adds depth without overpowering the fruit character.
Finish:
The finish is long, warm, and elegant, leaving lasting impressions of apple tart, soft spice, and a touch of honeyed oak. A final whisper of vanilla and clove lingers on the tongue, inviting another sip.
