Description
Winemaking
François Voyer's estate is located in the communes of Verrières and Ambleville in the First Cru de Grande Champagne, they have been distilling and aging brandy in oak barrels since the 1870s, for more than five generations. This cognac is made entirely from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in their small vineyards in Grande Champagne. After the characteristic Voyer distillation process (which is carried out on lees and very slowly in traditional Charentaise stills), the spirit has been aged in virgin oak barrels from Limousin, Bercée, Gâvre and Reno Valdieu, housed in optimal conditions so that the character of each barrel is fully developed throughout the first 3 years of its maturation. The rest is filled into cognac barrels. Extra Grande Champagne 1er Cru Old Cognac contains spirits aged between 10 and 45 years, by which time it has developed astonishing levels of complexity and depth of flavor.
