Château Montifaud Cognac VSOP

Natural golden hue, dried pear, apricot on the nose with delicate butterscotch and violet. Creamy on the entry, with a long taper. Deep and nutty, with a hint of citrus peel and green peppercorn on the finish. Terrific "grower" Cognac. 

The Vallet family are 6th generation producers in the Petite Champagne region. 130ha of sustainably farmed vineyard, limestone soil, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche. Distilled slowly on the fine lees. Aged 1 year in new Limousin oak then several more in older casks. Much longer than required for the VSOP designation. No additives, 40% abv.
