La Fontaine de la Pouyade - Cognac Grande Champagne

La Fontaine de La Pouyade Cognac belongs to the fourteenth generation of the Plantevigne-Dubosquet family, rooted in the Cognac region since the 17th century. It is the name reserved for the best Cognacs chosen by the current descendant, holder and heir of a unique know-how transmitted from generation to generation. Only a few hundred bottles are available each year in the world.

It is the only Cognac produced by the House, right at the top of the niche of Great Cognacs. Fontaine de La Pouyade comes exclusively from grapes harvested in Grande Champagne classified as Premier Cru. They are located on limestone slopes, where the sun's rays are the most intense. The yield per hectare is lower than in the other Crus, but it brings, after a longer aging, incomparable olfactory and gustatory sensations, enhanced by the distillation: spices, candied fruits and flowers such as iris and violet, so characteristic of the Grande Champagne.

This Cognac is composed exclusively of very old eaux-de-vie that are carefully kept in dame-jeanne once they have reached their peak of aging, after many years in oak barrels. Capsulated and sealed with wax, it is presented in a hand-finished crystal bottle, a replica of the old 17th century bottles owned by the family. Each bottle has a 24-carat gold label, identified by a unique number engraved in the glass and included on a signed, watermarked, forgery-proof certificate.
