Cognac Bourgoin - XO La Gloire de mon père 1990, 35cl
"This is a tribute to the crisis which hit the winegrowers of the cognac appellation so hard from the 1990's onwards. A time when cognac was no longer selling. A time when my father did not know if he would be able to continue to live from the vine.
Paradoxical beauty: these cognacs, which came out of the crisis and were therefore unsold at the time, became my father's glory 30 years later." Frédéric Bourgoin
Maison Bourgoin is a family estate that bears the Bourgoin name since 1930. Located in the village of Tarsac in the commune of Saint Saturnin (Charente), the property includes 90 hectares of vineyards.
Maëlys Bourgoin and her brother Frédéric offer cognacs made with no blending, no filtration, no coloring and no added sugar. The batches are bottled by vintage, by terroir (premiers bois ou fins bois ou petite champagne), and by cask (single cask). The old vintages are sold without dilution, full proof. Reductions are always made with rainwater to optimize the aromas. The bottling is done by hand and at the estate.
