La Guilde du Cognac - Petite Champagne, Single Village Saint Germain de Vibrac 2007
Saint Germain de Vibrac is located on the wooded hills of Petite Champagne. This limestone terroir provides the ideal conditions to produce fine and elegant eaux-de-vie.
Harvested in 2007 after a turbulent summer, the wines were distilled on lees in a small copper still. The eaux-de-vie were then aged in large grain oak barrels, capturing all the essence of this village. Nose of vanilla and sweet spices. Smooth gingerbread notes on the palate, with a hint of ginger.
In the Middle Ages, a guild was a group of people practicing a common activity, with specific rules. Created on the initiative of Maison Villevert, the Cognac Guild brings together distillers - true Artisan Distillers - who cultivate their vines, elaborate their wine, distill it into Cognac and take care of its aging.
The Cognac region is divided into 6 crus. Each Cru has its own terroir expressed by the soil, the subsoil, the climate, the vines and the know-how of the men. Among these crus, a village, represented by a distiller, has been selected for its unique, authentic and exceptional style.
