Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain “cru”, for example exclusively from “Grande Champagne”, but of different ages.
Petite Champagne: some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It’s vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Light amber in colour. The first nose is characterised by spice and toasted notes. They intensify and are complemented by hints of pastry and confectionary. A very clean elegant palate displays excellent balance and a touch of oak at the finish.
Amber in colour. The initial nose has soft oak and vanilla. The nose develops to a very elegant ‘rancio’ with delicious dried fruit and nut aromas. The palate is soft and lingering with liquorice and ‘rancio’ flavours.
