La Fontaine de La Pouyade

Description

"For the time being, surely one of the best Cognacs in the world". Der Feinschmecker 01/2003 Only one quality is produced by the House, right at the top in the niche of the Grands Cognacs. La Fontaine de La Pouyade comes exclusively from the heart of the Cognac delimited region: the Grande Champagne classified Premier Cru. The grapes are harvested exclusively on the limestone hillsides of Grande Champagne, where the sun's ardors are most intense. The yield per hectare is more difficult to achieve than in the other Crus but, after longer aging, it brings incomparable olfactory and gustatory lengths. Before the onset of Spring, Cognac will fall asleep, forgetting time, under the watchful eye of several generations of winemaker cellar masters, in barrels made from very old oak trees. In a hand-finished 17th-century style bottle, capped and sealed with wax, each bottle is dressed in a 24-carat fine gold label, the work of master goldsmiths, identified by a unique number engraved in the glass and recorded on a certificate. Only a few hundred bottles are available annually worldwide.
