A Grande Champagne cognac in a unique carafe, enhanced by a 19th-century-style Art Deco glass plate displaying the Hardy cockerel.
GRAPE VARIETIES : Ugni blanc - Folle Blanche - Colombard
ABV : 40%
PRODUCTION : A rare selection of our oldest eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne.
Bordered to the north by the Charente, to the south and west by the Né and to the east by the roads from Barbezieux to Châteauneuf and from Châteauneuf to Saint-Même. Named for the clay-limestone nature of its soils on the surface, complemented by soft chalky limestone in the subsoil. The clays give the soil structure, high fertility and good water retention. These soils are therefore not very sensitive to drought, the subsoil acting as a sponge through which water can slowly rise as the summer drought worsens. It is this cru that produces the finest, most delicate, cleanest and most aromatic eaux-de-vie, and those that improve the most with age. When you taste them, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that the glass retains the delicious scent and aroma of the cognac it once contained.
