Pierre Ferrand 1968 Memoire Vintage Edition Cognac

Pierre Ferrand 1968 Memoire Vintage Edition

Pierre Ferrand is a revered Cognac producer, situated in the heart of France's Grande Champagne region, an area celebrated for its exceptional eaux-de-vie. With a history spanning over three centuries, the house upholds traditional methods to create expressions that reflect the distinctive character of its terroir. This 1968 Memoire Vintage Edition represents a special bottling from Pierre Ferrand, showcasing their deep understanding of Cognac production and careful selection of spirits.

The Cognac is crafted from grapes cultivated in the chalky soils of Grande Champagne, recognized as the premier cru of the Cognac region. Predominantly Ugni Blanc grapes are used, which are double distilled in traditional copper pot stills. The resulting eaux-de-vie are then aged in French oak barrels, with careful consideration given to the choice of cellars-dry or humid-to guide the spirit's development. This edition, while bearing the year 1968, is a non-vintage Cognac, a testament to Pierre Ferrand's blending expertise in creating an expression that captures a particular style or era through careful selection and maturation.

The Pierre Ferrand 1968 Memoire Vintage Edition is presented in a 750 ml bottle. This special release has an alcohol by volume of 40%.

How to drink

This distinguished Cognac is best appreciated when served neat, allowing its complexities to unfold. A small amount of water can be added to open up its aromatic profile further. It is ideal for contemplative moments or as an elegant digestif after a refined meal.
