| The Domaine de La Pouyade, an estate belonging to the Fillioux family since 1894 and whose present owner, Pascal J.Fillioux, represents the fourth generation, is set in Juillac Le Coq among the finest land and most typical soils of the Grande Champagne. This fine 25 hectare estate produces Cognacs of rare finesse, the best balanced of the Premier Cru du Cognac appellation with highly expressive, complex perfume, having matured for many, long years in French oak barrels. It was in 1982 that Pascal J.Fillioux inherited this fine estate, and 1983 was the first year in which he harvested, vinified and distilled under his name. This genuine man, whose skills and knowledge are beyond question, has instilled a culture of quality at every stage of the making of his Cognacs. With his roots firmly planted in the pure, time-honoured tradition of his ancestors, a man content in the shadows and a conjuror of magical aromas, Pascal will be happy to welcome you into his cellars where you can discover and share his Collection Privée. TASTING NOTE:
Harvested in 1983, distilled with the lies and matured in French oak casks in a cool damp cellar, this Cognac displays a very floral nose of acacia flowers and geraniums with hints of almond, honey and lime tree leaves. Fresh fruit on the palate, apricots and papaya with touches of mushrooms. A long finish with spices coming through. |
