Cognac "Folle Blanche" 2009- 50cl
The sweetness of dried fruit and honey in the mouth. A nose of lime blossom and Timut pepper.
Terroir
Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this "Folle Blanche 2009" Cognac comes from the Grande Champagne region, the most prestigious of the Cognac production area.
Ageing
This Cognac "Folle Blanche 2009" has been aged for more than 10 years in French oak barrels in the cellars of Domaine Michel Forgeron. It has been patiently reduced by adding distilled water to be offered at 47 degrees of alcohol, a good compromise between preservation of taste and aromas and power in the mouth.
Grape variety
This Cognac is made from the Folle Blanche grape variety alone. It is much fruitier than the Ugni Blanc that is the majority of Cognacs.
