Very Informative

Vic_N, May 2023
The class gives you a great summary of how cognac making came to the region, the grape varieties and the process for making cognac. It also covers the topics of aromas and the development of flavours as the cognac ages. You then get to try three cognacs from the same maker of different ages to compare how the aroma and taste changes. The presenter is very knowledgeable and a nice guy. A very pleasant and worthwhile afternoon.

This is the best class you will find...Cognac Masterclass with Jean-Luc

Jennifer_I, Sep 2021
Jean-Luc was superior, personable, professional and knowledgeable. Jean-Luc knows his cognac. If you knew little about cognac...you will walk out knowing more about cognac, the region and how to drink the smooth caramel color deliciousness. HIs property is breathtaking and the cognac to match. Come ready to learn about cognac.
