Cognac Bourgoin - Double lies 2010
This cuvée is distilled with twice the amount of lees usually contained in the vin de chauffe. This cognac contains 200 mg/L of esters. This is three times more than the level obtained with a classic distillation on lees. The Maillard reaction between the lees and the copper of the still during the warming of the vin de chauffe allows for this exceptional extraction of esters, giving Double Lies an incomparable aromatic intensity.
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.
