The Monnet house, founded in 1838, and long been known as a "sunny" Cognac. Warm and strongly floral and fruity, they are very pretty brandies. Famously called 'Sunshine in a glass' by Leonardo Cappiello, the 1920s lithographer, it has stuck ever since. Their modern expression going by the name 'Sunshine' is an ode to that house style at a very affordable price. Elegant and round, this expression is bright gold in color and loaded with quince jam, spring flowers, ripe summer stone fruits, and a wisp of vanilla and gingerbread. The finish is long and smooth and reprises the dried fruits of summer. It's a splendid bottling at a friendly price.
