Cognac Ferrand "10 Generations" 1er cru Grande Champagne, Cognac, France

A masterful tribute to ten generations of the Ferrand family's cognac-making legacy dating back to 1630. Crafted in the style of 19th-century cognacs by Elie VIII, the family's most prolific distiller, this Premier Cru Grande Champagne blend ages in French oak barrels with 20% finished in Sauternes wine casks, creating an opulent yet refined expression of traditional craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

The Sauternes barrel influence adds a delicate sweetness and floral complexity, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering notes of caramel, honey, and gentle spice.
