Коньяк Миллезим 1991 Раньо Сабурэн

Presentation of the domain :

Since 1850, the major traditions of this unique brand have been preserved with insight and reason in this family house.

Owners in Grande Champagne, 1er crû de Cognac, Gaston Briand and Marcel Ragnaud represent the ancestors and founders in the past, while Annie Ragnaud Sabourin with her son Olivier represent the present and the future.

There could be no cognac of noble descent without the incredible talent of the cellar master, who oversees the subtle fusion of the eaux-de-vies of the estate. 
Marcel Ragnaud was a cellar master and great winegrower. The cellar masters who followed on from him in this protected world were successful in keeping the art and passion of the founder alive and in tune with the grape harvests and distillation seasons.

Presentation of the vintage :

The 1991 vintage was marked by an unprecedented wave of frost where more than two thirds of the harvest was destroyed by the cold, which makes this year extremely rare.

The nose is persistent and has beautiful minty notes mixed with vanilla and clove scents to finish on lightly woody candied fruits.

On the palate, a hint of liquorice, spices and candied fruit, with a lingering finish of rancio.
