Bel Ange Extra Paradisiaque Cognac – Platinum Edition 1973
The Bel Ange Extra Paradisiaque Platinum Edition is a prestigious Petite Champagne Cognac distilled in 1973 and aged for decades under the care of the Lheritaud family. Bottled at 44% ABV in a luxurious 70 cl decanter, this expression is the jewel of the estate’s collection. In 2024, it was awarded a Gold Medal at the Frankfurt Spirits Trophy, confirming its excellence among the rarest Cognacs available.
Crafted entirely on the family estate—from vines to distillation, ageing, and bottling—this Cognac reflects more than four generations of quiet mastery. The slow ageing has produced a spirit of exceptional finesse, with profound notes of rancio, polished oak, and candied fruit. Every drop expresses both age and balance, ideal for seasoned collectors and serious enthusiasts.
Presentation of the decanter
The Extra Paradisiaque comes in a striking crystal-style decanter with wide shoulders and a high-gloss silver cap and collar. The front is screen-printed with a winged angel and the Bel Ange name in silver. The decanter’s design reinforces the Cognac’s elevated status and collectible nature.
How to drink
Serve neat in a tulip glass at cellar temperature. Allow the Cognac to breathe for several minutes before tasting to reveal its full aromatic depth. Ideal for special occasions or contemplative sipping, and best enjoyed slowly. A perfect match with premium cigars, aged cheese, or on its own.
