Ragnaud Sabourin Florilège

Description

This Cognac Grande Champagne is a 46 degree brut de fût. It is a cognac distilled from wines harvested on the very chalky slopes of Grande Champagne Premier Cru and planted with 60% Ugni-Blanc and 40% Folle-Blanche grapes. Folle blanche, a grape variety that was widespread before the phylloxera crisis that destroyed almost the entire vineyard in the 1880s. This variety is now slowly being reintroduced. The color is mahogany due to a prolonged aging in red barrels only. The nose is very flowery with hints of spring white flowers of quince, cherry and pear. In the mouth: very good persistence and length marked by nuances of dried tobacco leaves.
