Cognac Paul Giraud - Napoléon
Aged in only 25% new oak, Paul Giraud Napoléon is elegantly light in color and subtle in aroma. It reveals delicate notes of vine blossom, aromas comparable to acacia or elderflower. A hint of freshness is reminiscent of grapes crushed at harvest time. This is the olfactory memory of a white wine made from the Ugni Blanc grape variety, with its sweet aromas and clean acidity, used here exclusively because this variety has all the qualities required to make a fine Grande Champagne eau de vie.
The Paul Giraud vineyard is located in Bouteville, in the heart of the Grande Champagne region. This village, nestled in the valleys of the premier cru of cognac, is renowned for the finesse of its eaux-de-vie. At the head of an old stock of cognacs accumulated over several generations, the Giraud family produces exceptional cognacs. The finesse and aromatic power of its eaux de vie have conquered the greatest establishments throughout the world.
From cultivation to distillation, Paul Giraud gives priority to an ancestral know-how to best serve the expression of his terroir through authentic cognacs that are not made from blends. From father to son, generations succeed one another at the head of this magnificent property of 42 hectares of vines. In order to preserve the quality of the Ugni blanc grapes, the harvest is still done manually. The vinification and distillation are done on the property. The aging in oak barrels brings all its nobility. The particularly humid cellars give an exceptional suppleness and mellowness to the cognacs of the house.
