Youngest quality of Normandin-Mercier cognacs. This Fine Petite Champagne was raised in same oak barrels and in the same cellars than the other qualities. Bottled after 7 years ageing.
Louis Bouron - VSOP
Family Property since 1832, Louis Bouron is one of the only owners whose vineyard is spread over 3 of the best growths (crus) of the official region of the Cognac. Thanks to this specificity, their Cognac and Pineau des Charentes are the result of a smooth combination of the roundness & suppleness of Fins Bois, the violet flavour of Borderies and the floral bouquet of Petite Champagne.
