This is not Cognac as you know it, this is hand-made, small batch, artisanal and utterly delicious!
The grapes, 100% Ugni Blanc, all come from the 7ha estate in the Grand Champagne 1er Cru area and unlike all the big boys nothing is automated. They use 2 small, traditional copper pot stills of 18 and 25 hl to distil the wine on its fine lees and the cut is done by hand to ensure the best selection. Utterly delicious
Tremendously smooth and mellow with hints of pears, apricots and nuts on the palate. Satisfying and intensely long. No giant marketing budgets to pay for here, just quality.
A beautiful nose of dried fruit and hints of almonds, the palate is fresh, round and warming with ginger and rich cloves. Château Montifaud is a super family-run estate.
