The Cognac Guild Grande Champagne 44° - 70cl

Brand History:

Nestled between woods and vineyards, Saint-Preuil is one of the finest expressions of the Grande Champagne terroir, the appellation's premier cru. The attention and expertise required to achieve the perfect aging of the cognacs in this Grande Champagne blend are complex. Each of the 1990, 1996, and 2004 eaux-de-vie was slowly matured in French oak barrels to allow the wood tannins to impart their aromas and color. The result is a complex and powerful aromatic palette. This Extra is the ultimate signature of the Single Village collection.

The production method for this cognac is just as fascinating. La Guilde du Cognac adopts an artisanal and terroir-driven approach by selecting a single village and an independent distiller for each cru. Each Cognac is a blend sourced exclusively from this single cru, reflecting the distiller's traditional expertise and the specific characteristics of their terroir. Local vinification, double distillation in Charentais stills, and aging in oak barrels within the village of origin highlight this plot-based method. This showcases the pure and singular identity of each territory, which is especially true for the 44° Grande Champagne cognac.

In terms of aromas, this cognac’s color is a deep amber, offering a rich sensory experience. The nose is an intoxicating blend of cocoa and cigar box, while the palate reveals notes of exotic wood, nuts, and sweet spices. Each sip of this 44° Grande Champagne cognac is an invitation to discover the very essence of the region, paying tribute to its heritage and exceptional craftsmanship.

These characteristics make La Guilde du Cognac Grande Champagne 44° a perfect choice for connoisseurs of refined spirits, allowing everyone to savor a centuries-old tradition, a true jewel of the Charentais terroir. This cognac stands out not only for its quality but also for the history and commitment of those who craft it.
