Selection of Anges Cognac - Pierre Ferrand

1er cru of Cognac - Grande Champagne

Not all cognac is equal! French law divides the Cognac region into 6 districts centered on the Grande Champagne. This is classified as the Premier Cru of Cognac. Ferrand Cognac has been made exclusively from Grande Champagne grapes for centuries. Ferrand's master distiller processes these grapes with the greatest care into one of the most acclaimed Cognacs in the world. It is a gem sought after by true connoisseurs!

As cognac matures in oak barrels, cognac is refined and concentrates its best flavors and aromas through slow evaporation through the wood fibers of the barrel. During this process, approximately 2% of the cognac evaporates from the barrel every year. In England they affectionately call this The Angels' Share, the part of the drink that is reserved for the Angels. So after a long aging period, a very limited amount is left in each barrel. At Maison Ferrand they called this very old cognac that had been sublimated by time: Sélection des Anges.

Deep mahogany color. The first nose reveals scents of jasmine tea, honeysuckle and walnuts, followed by vanilla wood, chocolate and a hint of curry. The bouquet develops notes of candied fruit, saffron spice, ginger and honey mixed with nutmeg and cedar wood. Pierre Ferrand Sélection des Anges is a concentrate of flavors with a very long aftertaste.
