Ragnaud Sabourin Florilege Alliance N°45 Cognac

Ragnaud Sabourin Florilege Alliance N°45 Cognac

Combining the quality of stunning grapes maturation in red barrels, Ragnaud Sabourin Florilege Alliance N°45 Cognac carried every year with grace. This expression has been crafted from a careful blend of two grape varieties: 60% Ugni Blanc and 40% Folle Blanche and like with other expressions from this Maison, the number in the name is a nod to its number of years in oak. The result is multifaceted and rich Cognac, of natural cask strength, displaying the very best characteristics of Grande Champagne. 

The Ragnaud-Sabourin estate was founded in 1850 by Gaston Briand and his son-in-law Marcel Ragnaud. Today, Annie Ragnaud-Sabourin and her son Olivier carry on the family expertise, focusing exclusively on eaux-de-vie produced from their own vines. Sitting on a hill outside the village of Ambleville in the south of Grande Champagne, this wonderful estate may be small, but it is also one of the most prominent houses in Cognac, selling fine eaux-de-vie to a range of larger companies. However, they always make sure to keep the majority for themselves, which is why the House of Ragnaud-Sabourin boasts unusually large stocks of old Cognac - some of which predate the phylloxera epidemic. As a result, they are able to offer a wide selection of high-end releases. 

Few houses dedicate themselves to such a long-term view on their production, but the Ragnaud-Sabourin family know how to plan ahead. The present stocks kept in their cellars represent around fifteen years of future sales - a long-term investment, but always worth the wait.
