Cognac Bourgoin Double lees 2010

Presentation of the domain:

The family domain, to saint Saturnin in Charente, exists since 1933 and extends over 90 hectares today.

Lots are isolated by vintage , by soil, and by barrel. Old vintage are sold without reduction.

For young cognacs, reductions are made for the rainwater to optimize the aromatic portance. The sub-drawings are made in the new moon by gravity to benefit at best from the fluid mechanics. The bottling is made 100% in the hand on the domain.

Presentation of the vintage:

Distillation on lees is commonly used in cognac area to obtain richer eau-de-vie by distilling wines with lees*. On this vintage 2010, Bourgoin decided to double lees volumes during distillation (around 200 mg/L ester) to obtain an even bigger aromatic complexity.

Elegant flavors of pear, rose petal, fresh mango, cut hay and passion fruit.

*Lees : The lees in wine are essentially the dead yeast cells, leftover from the fermentation process.
