Description
Michel Forgeron Barrique 1984 Cognac is an outstanding vintage eaux-de-vie and part of the 'Barrique' series from the house of Michel Forgeron. This single vintage eaux-de-vie is from the prestigious Grande Champagne terroir, and has undergone a completely natural aging process within old oak barrels, preserved deep down in the cave cellars at Michel Forgeron. As this 1984 Barrique range Cognac has been matured to cask strength of 53% - it serves as the ultimate digestif to be enjoyed following a delectable dining experience.
Boasting an array of bold aromas, Barrique 1984 Cognac, first expresses a floral nose which is quickly dominated by its woody notes of cedar and oak. It is overall a very round Cognac, that leaves deliciously sweet sensations to meander around the mouth. Whilst the alcohol strength is high it goes unnoticed against the sublime sweetness. A quality vintage eaux-de-vie like this one, ultimately acquaints those lucky enough to experience it with a trained palette for the finer things in life.
Michel Forgeron is a close knit family-run business that values sustainability and an environmentally friendly approach to viticulture. As the sons of Michel Forgeron; Pierre and Christophe excel in embracing the original roots and traditions of the family brand.

How to enjoy
This delicate vintage eaux-de-vie should be enjoyed as a digestive, after an indulgent dinner. Alternatively, accompany Michel Forgeron Barrique 1984 Cognac with a delicious fruit based dessert such as a light fruit mousse - as the sugary sweetness will accentuate the notes of fresh fig and flower petals beautifully.

À propos de Michel Forgeron
La spécificité du cognac Michel Forgeron réside dans son histoire très particulière, dans son souci environnemental et bien sûr dans sa recherche de qualité. Avec une histoire relativement jeune, le premier cognac sous la marque Michel Forgeron a été produit en 1977. Leur philosophie reste la même que celle de son grand-père, qui a acheté la propriété agricole au début du siècle : travailler mieux, produire mieux. Récemment, pour son centenaire, Forgeron a recouvert l'un des toits de la propriété de panneaux solaires afin de travailler avec des énergies durables pour la production de cognac.
