Sorry for the confusion. What I am wondering is that since we don’t get the vintage or cask strength Deau cognac in the US, we can’t really compare it to the ‘Louis Memory’. We can only assume that the Louis Memory is a fantastic deal being 40-100 years old. The vintage/cask strength must be really delicious to charge double the price of the Louis Memory.

Fuzhou, if you would like to compare apples to apples, the price you state in USD is not so bad compared to the prices this cognac is offered in our region. It is not easy to find it online locally for a lower price, most of the times more expensive. If the age range you provide is indeed correct, the Louis Memory is also a relative bargain compared to the Deau Vintages which Rowin and Roland referred to.

If you however compare Deau to other relatively lesser known cognac houses, also the Louis Memory is priced at the ambitious side. If we assume that average age is between 40 en 50 years, there are sufficient cognacs on the Dutch (or surrouding) market(s) of roughly the same age that are considerably less expensive. For example Esteve Tres Vieux, but I knoe there are more. Whether the Louis Memory justifies the additional investment can of course only be tasted in a side by side tasting. And I know that Deau aims at a premium cognac market and has a bottle which is more luxurious than other brands. Even taking that into consideration, for us as cognac amateurs (in the French sense of the word) it remains to be seen whether Deau will be able to convince us and the market of the hefty price setting they have chosen...
