Jean Fillioux Reserve Familiale Tres Vieille Champagne 1er Cru de Cognac France 750 mL

Description

Vieille Grande Champagne, 1er Cru de Cognac.
House’s flagship, a very powerful, elegant and noble Cognac with notes of jammy fruit, orange marmalade, quince, pear and vanilla.

The “noblesse” of a cognac depends on its source and its age. The most prestigious source is the Grande Champagne 1er Cru of Cognac, and more precisely, the Golden Triangle. This is where the famed Domaine de La Pouyade is located, in Juillac Le Coq, and where the dynasty of Jean Fillioux has its roots since 1880, when Honore Fillioux founded the firm.
Each year in October, 5th generation owner Christophe Fillioux harvests the Ugni Blanc grapes from his 63 acre vineyard, makes the wine and distills it in his classic alembic stills. After carefully selecting barrels from the cooperage, the young distillate is put to rest for 2 years, absorbing maximum tannins and color.
