Ambre 1er Cru Du Cognac Size 750ML

The Maison Ferrand has made a name for itself thanks to its exclusive use of Premier Cru terroir eaux-de-vie, the chalky soil of Grande Champagne is particularly famous for producing some of the highest quality Cognacs the region has to offer.

For the Ferrand family, now on their fifth generation of cellar master, blending is an art form and each Cognac is a masterpiece in its own right. No expense or artisan expertise has been spared with the Ferrand Cognac Ambré, which is why it took home Silver at the esteemed San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2018, as well as two Gold Medals at the 2009 Cognac Masters and Chicago Beverage Testing Institute respectively.

Containing a mix of eaux-de-vie made from Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes, it has been left to age for ten years in traditional, high quality French Quercus Sessiliflora (Tronçais) oak barrels, which gives the Cognac its distinct amber color. The barrels are stored in one of the Logis d’Angeac’s 7 cellars, which are either warm or dry, producing the optimum atmosphere and humidity for the masterful maturation process.

The blend is in fact an XO, but marketed as a “1er Cru de Cognac” thanks to its Grande Champagne appellation, the most revered terroir in the region. It boasts a lively and expressive flavor profile of fresh fruit, flowers and vanilla and an excellent depth of character, which comes as no surprise for a Maison Ferrand masterpiece.
