Présentation +

Navarre

The Navarre family has lived in Angoumois since the 14th century. The current property was bought by Pierre Navarre (1775-1827) in 1811, who was a landowner and merchant.

It was his grandson who built the current residence on the banks of the Charente, a strategic location as it was well chosen for loading into the hold and onto the deck of the barges (flat-bottomed boats) the wines harvested on the neighboring hillsides and the eaux de vie around the middle of the 17th century distilled in the cellars located along the river.

The Domaine extends over 11 hectares of vineyards exclusively located in Grande Champagne classified Premier Cru of the Region of Cognac. The grape varieties are predominantly Ugni Blanc (88%), 6% CoLombard and 6% Folle Blanche.

The grapes are harvested by hand, and immediately after the first and only alcoholic fermentation, the wine is distilled in a 1,000-liter red copper still - a small capacity Rare nowadays - run by the current owner. The eau-de-vie is then aged for many years in cellars along the river, a factor highly favorable qualitatively to optimal Cognacs aging through very slow evaporation.

Description Navarre Souvenir Impérial.

Maison Navarre, an exclusive family wine estate located in Angeac-Charente, is renowned for its unfiltered, natural cognacs that are aged for long periods in small barrels. Souvenir Impérial fully embodies this authentic, traditional style.

With a magnificent amber color and mahogany highlights, the nose offers an intense and rich bouquet. Notes of dried fruit—figs, dates, prunes, and orange peel—mingle with spices. After a short aeration, notes of walnut, rancio, and beeswax develop. The palate is full-bodied, warm and perfectly blended. The aromas evolve into plum, cocoa and vanilla. The texture is silky, almost enveloping, with remarkable aromatic depth. The finish is very persistent, marked by flavors of dried fruit, sweet spices and oak.

A powerful and elegant cognac with a unique artisanal style.
