Cognac "Folle Blanche" 2008- 50cl
Candied and exotic fruits in an autumn undergrowth.
Terroir
Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this Cognac "Folle Blanche 2008" comes from the Grande Champagne region, the most prestigious of the Cognac production area.
Ageing
This Cognac "Folle Blanche 2008" 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.
