Francis Abécassis, owner of the House, and Master Cellar Frédéric David selected eaux-de-vie known for their aromatic richness and aged them in the oldest barrels of the estate.
This cognac, with its harmonious and powerful character, evokes the strength and wisdom symbolized by the snake in Asian culture.
