Reviewed September 2019This experimental blend of seven- to 20-year-old Grande Champagne is finished for 12 to 18 months in Banyuls casks. Light copper in color, it’s bright and fruity, with flavors and aromas of fresh citrus and stone fruit, but there’s significant rancio throughout. Banyuls is all about rancio, so that it makes sense, but the palate is very unique, almost the opposite of what’s expected: the spice and rancio come up front, followed by a finish of raisins and dates. A fascinating and tasty experiment. (42.3% abv) (JW)
Notes
Replacing the now discontinued Reserve expression, Ferrand's new Double Cask edition takes the classic Cognac, a marriage of 7-10 year old standard French Oak barrels, and blends it with 20 year Cognac aged in former Banyuls casks. With the ABV brought up from 40 to 42.3%, the result is a richer and more robust Cognac that has the classic richness of the spirit, but with more weight and intensity. It's a fantastic step in the right direction for the Ferrand label.
