Tasting from 06/2023 at the GARAGE BAR

" BACK TO THE PAST"
Crowned with his two Gold medals awarded during the 2023 CLUB TROPHY, Christophe FORGERON returns to take us on a journey into the past, more precisely before the phylloxera crisis, a time when the FOLLE BLANCHE grape variety represented more than 60% of the surface area. planted in cognac. This ancestral grape variety, now grafted, only covers around a hundred hectares, or around 0.1% of the vines dedicated to cognac. We might as well tell you that it is a privilege to taste 3 100% Folle Blanche vintage cognacs. Thanks to Christophe for cultivating a few hectares of this very sensitive grape variety to offer us such nuggets.
