Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this "Folle Blanche 2010" Cognac comes from the Grande Champagne terroir, the most prestigious in the Cognac production area. Aged for over 10 years in French oak barrels, it has been patiently reduced by the addition of distilled water, and is now offered at 47% alcohol, a good compromise between preservation of taste and aroma, and power on the palate. It is made from the single Folle Blanche grape variety, which is much fruitier than the Ugni Blanc used in most Cognacs.
Old gold color. A spicy, blond tobacco nose, blended with gourmet vanilla and dried apricot aromas. The palate is round, gourmand and spicy, with a hint of citrus adding freshness. Its zesty finish leaves a pleasant sensation on the palate.
The family estate has been in existence since 1909, and the "Michel Forgeron" brand was created in 1977. Today, Pierre and Christophe Forgeron take over from their parents Michel and Francine. They have set as their priority environmentally-friendly practices.
