The Cognac of Francois Voyer is produced on the Voyer family’s estate, planted to just 28 hectares, located inbetween Verrières and Ambleville, in Cognac’s most prestigious appellation, Grande Champagne. This is a generous, spicy 5 year old Cognac.
François Voyer use eaux de vie from the renowned, respected and revered Grande Champagne region of Cognac to craft this high quality, good value-for-money Cognac. Spicy, rich and well balanced with fragrant notes of apricot and violet petals, this expression is top stuff from the Voyer house – a name which dates back to the 1870s in the Cognac world.
First tasted 26/06/2009: Gold with pale straw hue. Dusty, dried flower top note, then heavier aromas of stewed apricots, clove, honey and creamy vanilla. The medium to full bodied palate offers dried fruits, creme caramel and sweet vanillan oak before building into a big, spicy oak finish. Excellent balance. Subtle, drying tannins balance the palate flavours, followed by a subtle aftertaste of liquorice allsorts, vanilla and tumeric. 40% Alc./Vol. 91 points
