Présentation +

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 97 - The Cask Strenght Collection.

Made exclusively from Grande Champagne, Premier Cru de Cognac, this XO Millésimé 1997 is a Rare pearl from the house of Drouet, offered in the prestigious"The Cask Strength Collection" series.

Bottled in Brut casks at 49.6% vol., this Cognac reveals all the power of its terroir without any reduction, in a pure expression of oak ageing.

Slowly aged for over two decades, this Cognac develops a dense, evolving aromatic palette: deep aromas of blond tobacco, candied fruit and noble rancio, magnified by a rich, nervous texture. The attack is straightforward, followed by a vibrant, persistent palate, characteristic of a Grande Champagne with the patina of time.

Presented in a 50 cl bottle with box, this collectible bottle of Cognac, reserved for seasoned tasters, is best enjoyed between 18 and 20 °C, ideally after aeration. A confidential, precious cuvée, both introspective and intense, for lovers of authentic, racy wines.
