Navazos Palazzi
I was introduced to Nicolas Palazzi and his spirits at Eleven Madison Park, where I had one of the greatest meals of my life a few years back. Then Wine Director John Ragan poured me a glass of Palazzi’s single-cask 1951 Devant la Porte Grande Cognac and I was hooked. Originally from Bordeaux, Palazzi is essentially a micro-negociant specializing in spirits. Palazzi purchases casks of Cognac, Sherry, rum and Pineau des Charentes, finishes the aging, and bottles the spirits under one of his labels. I have had a chance to taste a number of Palazzi’s single-cask Cognacs, many of which remain unreleased, such as the L’Artisan du Cognac No. 23, 25, 50 and 58, each named after their respective vintages, and they have never been anything less than outstanding. These current releases are from Palazzi’s joint venture with Equipo Navazos, who are well known to sherry lovers for their extraordinary wines. Palazzi also markets a variety of aged Pineau des Charentes under his Paul & Marie Fils label. Production is tiny, so if you see anything from L’Artisan du Cognac, Paul & Marie Fils or Navazos Palazzi don’t hesitate. These are magnificent, artisan spirits that deserve just as much attention as the best small production wines from anywhere in the world. Readers might enjoy the short video I shot with Nicolas Palazzi right after this tasting.
