This is the way this domain " La Pouyade ", in the family since 1894, is perched at the top of a hill, and its impressive house dominates their magnificent vineyard, situated at the heart of the Big Champagne.

Presentation of the vintage :

Amber color with fruity flavors, greengage, apricot, almond mixed with notes of oak wood. 

Fragrant and powerful flexibility and length.

Drawn from the younger barrels on the property, the nose shows red fuits, and nuttiness, which follow through on the palate along with vanilla and caramel. More nuts, coconut and butterscotch come up on the finish.

It’s perfectly well-balanced and complex for a rather young Grande Champagne Cognac. A quite interesting personality with floral notes, spring flowers. Very lively cognac, fresh fruit aromas explode on the palate, apricot, greengage, grape, and some notes of almond. It’s the perfect cognac for a party with your friends to go with some toasts of smoked salmon, blue cheese, pate de foie gras. So delicious to go with sausage, dried ham, as well. To taste net or with some ice (just a little) or with some cool sparkling water (a little). It’s the perfect end of afternoon cognac, to recover of a busy day. And this cognac is one of the favorites of the whisky lovers.
