Francois Voyer Cognac – XO Grande Champ 1.er Cru 70 cl.
Cognac de France
Composed of Cognac matured for 10-25 years in medium-toasted oak casks from Limousin. First matured for 3 years in new wooden casks and then in damp cellars in older, large wooden casks and classic, small cognac wooden casks. The alcohol reduction is done gradually by 5% over 6-12 months. Amber color with a reddish tinge. Some Rancio in the scent with nuances of prunes, dried mangoes, leather and dried flowers. Classic for a matured cognac. Both subdued, rounded and fresh at the same time with cool waxy nuances too. The taste is elegant, soft, with delicate nuances of wood and pickled orange peel, but also with a good minerality and purity at the end. Class all the way through!
It is a cognac that will give a lot to inveterate cognac connoisseurs but will also charm someone who has never tried cognac before!
Cognac François Voyer is regarded in the international press as one of the best producers in Grande Champagne and can be found on some of the best wine lists in the world. One of the world’s biggest cognac collectors, Michel Gillet, has Voyer cognac among his favourites: “Not necessarily one of the best-known cognac houses, but definitely one of the very best”, he says.
Founded in 1795, Cognac François Voyer is located near the town of Verrières, in the middle of Grand Champagne, 1er Cru du Cognac. In the beginning, the family supplied its grapes to other producers, but from 1870, as one of the few in the area, they began to distill cognac themselves and mature them in casks. This has now been done for 5 generations. The vineyards are located in two of the best communes in the south-west of Grande Champagne, 1er Cru du Cognac: Verrières and Ambleville, near Segonzac. From the 1960s, they began bottling and developing their own cognac selection, which today consists of approx. 10 different products, some of them with over 50 years of storage.
It is the cellar master Pierre Vaudon who takes care of the various “assemblages” (mixtures) and selection of the cognacs to mature further. He guarantees quality and continuity at François Voyer. The large reserve of old cognacs in the house means that you can mostly produce cognacs that are much older than the law prescribes. It is one of the secrets behind the special quality and harmony of Cognac François Voyer.
