Cravan : Boulevardier

Characteristics and tasting tips for Cravan's Boulevardier

Tasting

Nose
The nose presents a remarkable balance between orange peels and grape. Hennessy Very Special cognac reveals notes of almond and dried fruits. Aromas of apricot, peach and vanilla are also present, accompanied by the subtle bitters of vermouth and bitter.

Palate
The palate reveals a gentle bitterness that accompanies the liveliness of the red aperitif wine. Hennessy Very Special cognac deploys floral notes and ripe fruits that structure the aromatic profile of the cocktail. The whole remains balanced on the freshness of the cognac and vermouth.

Pairings and tasting moments
The Boulevardier is enjoyed neat, very cold, without adding ice cubes. It is recommended to chill the glasses before serving. Each serving represents between 8 and 10 cl, allowing 6 to 8 glasses per 50 cl bottle. After opening, the cocktail must be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 30 days.

An elegant French cocktail by Cravans

Cravan, the Parisian cocktail House of the LVMH group
Cravan is a brand launched in France by Moët Hennessy (LVMH group) in partnership with Franck Audoux, inaugurated in June 2023 at 165 boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. This establishment transforms a 17th-century building into four floors dedicated to exceptional cocktails. The name pays tribute to the poet and boxer Arthur Cravan, precursor of the dada movement. Artistically directed by Franck Audoux, historian and mixology expert, Cravan brings together the entire Moët Hennessy spirits portfolio in the capital's largest cocktail bar, combining historic architecture redesigned by Ramy Fischler and a cultural dimension with its bookstore.

The Cravan Boulevardier, an exceptional creation
The Cravan Boulevardier is the result of a collaboration between Franck Audoux, founder and artistic director of Cravan, and Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, Master Blender of the Hennessy House. Thanks to Hennessy Very Special cognac which represents 50% of the composition, this version is more delicate and elegant than the original while developing fruity and floral notes. The subtle notes of orange peels are provided by a wine-based aperitif created specifically by Cravan. This cocktail in a bottle reflects the House's DNA: the choice of exceptional spirits and the obsession with perfect balance, ready to serve at home.
