Sorry but it was “une prouvette”, same roots than proof, it was used to give the proof of the alcohol content.
Remember also older vintage doesn’t meaning older cognac, a 1874 bottled in 1900, is still today a 26 year old cognac ! Because there is no further aging in the bottle…

I'll post more soon on the aging of cognac, vintages etc soon. But generally speaking, the older the better! I had one from 1874--amazing stuff!!!!<BR/><BR/>Tyler Tim,
