DUDOGNON COGNAC RESERVE 10 YRS OLD

From Grande Champagne's premier chalky soils in Lignières-Sonneville, the Dudognon family has handcrafted exceptional cognac since 1776 on their intimate 10-hectare estate where old-vine Ugni Blanc develops exceptional character in deep limestone terroir. This artisanal producer maintains complete family control from harvest through distillation, using traditional wood and charcoal-fired alembic stills and aging spirits in Limousin oak barrels crafted from staves air-dried on their own property. At 10 years, this Réserve displays beautiful textural development with the grape's natural acidity and hay-like qualities enhanced by decade-long maturation, revealing fresh apricot and plum fruit complemented by honeyed clover notes that provide ideal richness and bass for classic cocktail applications while showcasing Grande Champagne's renowned elegance.
