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 Cravache d'Or.

A Grande Champagne cognac, classified as Premier Cru in the Cognac region.
The grapes and then the wines were distilled about twenty years ago in a small 1000 liter still, heated over a naked wood fire, a method rarely used nowadays but which gives very supple cognacs, very round in the mouth. The cognac is aged in small French oak barrels.
The color light amber.
In the nose as well as in the mouth: white and grey pepper spices, musk, walnutnutmegwith a very structured finale.
