The Drouet family has been rooted for three generations in the land of Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of the Cognac region. The vineyard, authenticated since 1848, won an award at the Brussels World Fair in 1897.
70% of Salles d'Angles is planted in Grande Champagne and the rest in Petite Champagne, the second growth, all just a stone's throw from the town of Cognac.
The 40-hectare vineyard is planted 93% with Ugni Blanc and the rest with CoLombard, two of the three major grape varieties authorized in the Cognac delimited region, as stipulated in current legislation. The entire vineyard is cultivated using integrated methods: inter-row grassing, no weedkillers, organic fertilizers.
The two red copper stills used for wine distillation (double toasting) are small, with a capacity of 10 hectos. The cut at the heart of the toast is entirely managed by the owner and him alone. The Cognacs are aged exclusively in 250 to 400-liter casks, adapted according to their age (new casks, red casks and old casks) and the age of the Cognac. A Rare alchemy whose every step is an Art.
These cognacs are aged in small French oak barrels of between 250 and 400 liters.
On the nose, a real kaleidoscope of spicy aromas, plums of Ente and candied citrus fruits of mocha, zest of dried mandarins of Corsica and ginger. In the mouth: beautiful roundness and smoothness with notes of blond tobacco, cinnamon, leather with a final touch of mocha.
Very nice length.
A moment chosen after a chocolate dessert or vanilla Norwegian omelette and a coffee on a Monte Cristo or a Cohiba and even better on a Romeo and Juliet.
