La Guilde du Cognac - Fins Bois, Single Village Lorignac 2011

Lorignac is a village located in Fins Bois, near the Gironde estuary. This location gives its young eaux-de-vie a certain freshness and minerality that are its own. Lorignac is a small village with a significant agricultural activity. Its name comes from the Latin "Villa de Bacchus" which illustrates the importance of wine for this commune for centuries.

The year 2011 is known for its particularly high temperatures, resulting in an early harvest. The conditions resulted in a fruity, aromatic bouquet evoking summer fruits and green tea. The palate is dominated by notes of white fruits with a touch of honey.

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.
