An astonishing, opulent Grande Champagne Cognac from François Voyer, the family owned producer.

This is the eighth lot of this small batch release. The ancient spirit that makes up this bottling is taken from the Paradise Cellar at Voyer. This cellar is reserved for the oldest and rarest eaux-de-vie at the estate, and has the perfect climatic conditions for long aging.

The spirit was distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes grown at the domaine’s 28 hectare vineyard, and was made using Voyer’s two traditional Charentaise alembics. The spirit has been distilled with the lees, and then aged in new Limousin oak for three years, before further aging in refill Cognac casks. Some of the spirit contained in this bottling is as old as 80 years.

The final result is a deeply flavoured, incredibly complex Cognac that serves up flavours of black liquorice, beeswax, cedarwood, pine, liquorice, milk chocolate, dried herbs, stewed plums, apples, pepper, honeysuckle, tobacco, old oak, peaches, leather, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, grapes and sultanas.

Outstanding Cognac – close to perfection. Just 186 bottles were produced.
