Drouet

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.

Description Drouet Inspiration 04 - The Cask Strenght Collection.

From the prestigious Grande Champagne, Premier Cru of Cognac, this XO signed Drouet is part of the confidential " The Cask Strength " collection, revealing all the power and integrity of a cask strength Cognac Brut. Produced at 49.9% vol., this limited edition reveals an unadulterated, unreduced distillate, offering a striking sensory experience for discerning connoisseurs only.

The aromatic richness of this Cuvée Inspiration 04 is rooted in long oak barrel ageing, giving Cognac structure, complexity and depth. The classic notes of Grande Champagne (fruit Secs, sweet spices, noble rancio) are wrapped around an intense woody framework, carried by the natural concentration of the Brut barrel.

Presented in a 50 cl boxed format, this confidential Cognac is ideally served between 18 and 20°C, at the end of a meal, upright and aerated for a few moments in the glass to reveal its full personality. A work of character, racy and powerful, for collectors or purists in search of intensity and authenticity.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
