Présentation +

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 Folle Blanche 2005.

Until the Phylloxera crisis, an insect that destroyed a large part of the French vineyard, the Cognac region covered about 200,000 hectares and was entirely planted with the Folle Blanche grape variety.

Almost disappeared, this variety is slowly being reintroduced in the Charentes landscape.

This Cognac comes only from the Folle Blanche grape variety planted in Grande Champagne de Cognac in 1994 on a very small area of about 4 hectares.

The eau de vie is fine with remarkable flowery expressions. Presence of vegetal aromas

The palate is soft, almost fleshy. Very marked nuances of spicy grape, plum and mirabelle plum with a final touch of daffodil, morello cherry and ginger.

The color is amber.
