Raymond Ragnaud 2001
Harvest of 2001 only and composed of Cognac Grande Champagne exclusively.
Raymond Ragnaud
In the 1860s the Ragnaud family owned a small vineyard in Grande Champagne of Cognac, a cru not yet classified Premier Cru but recognized by all the professionals of the time as the best Cru in the Cognac Region and which would later be classified Premier Cru because of its exceptional qualities.
The vineyard then, as now, was planted with Folle Blanche and Ugni-Blanc, a grape variety resistant to phylloxera, a deadly disease that plagued the entire Cognac vineyard at the time.
It was in 1920 that Paul Ragnaud settled at Château in Ambleville followed in 1941 by his son Raymond, who decided to create the Raymond Ragnaud brand by bottling the eaux de vie of his heritage under his name.
In 1963, his wife, later helped by his two children, Françoise and Jean-Marie, increased the vineyard by successive purchases to 47 hectares spread over 3 properties: Ambleville, Criteuil la Madeleine and Lignères-Sonneville on the famous limestone hillsides of Grande Champagne.
For the past 30 years, Françoise Ragnaud-Bricq has remained true to her ancestral roots, managing her three vineyards and perpetuating the traditions of know-how of a family established in Ambleville for over 150 years in the vineyards of Grande Champagne Premier Cru.
Description Raymond Ragnaud 2001.
It is a Grande Champagne cognac whose grapes were exclusively harvested and distilled in 2000, a year remarkable for its climatic qualities: sun and rain in perfect alternation. It is a raw mono.
It is a cognac that has aged in French oak barrels since that date and whose qualities are improving year after year.
The nose as the mouth expresses beautiful flavors and aromas ranging from spring flowers to blond Virginia tobacco, black and gray pepper spices with a long finish on touches of coffee.
