Jean Fillioux TRES VIEUX Grande Champagne - 40 per cent
Ithe 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.

Very full, noble Cognac of a classic cut with an appetizing aroma of orange marmalade, pears, quince, bananas, citrus, sandalwood and old port. Powerful aftertaste with overtones of tropical fruits (maracuja, mango). The Cognac guide, Axel and Bibiana Behrendt.
