Presenting a fine Antique bottle from a truly refined Cognac house - the Raymond Ragnaud Réserve Rare Cognac “Bouteille Antique Bullée”. This Réserve Cognac has been aged for approximately 18 years in French oak barrels, and is made up of a stunning blend of Cognacs from the Grande Champagne terroir.
Presented in a bubble bottle and wooden box, it will make a fantastic gift for Cognac lovers everywhere. A fresh and harmonious Cognac that perfectly captures the lively aromas of the Grande Champagne, it is also exceptionally smooth.
The “Premier Cru”, as this growing area is also known, has developed a reputation for creating the finest Cognacs of all thanks to the high chalk content of the soil, optimal sun exposure and undulating hills.
The Raymond Ragnaud estate, also known as the Château of Ambleville sits enviably on the slopes of the Grande Champagne, having established themselves from just a small vineyard in 1860. The estate now comprises of three vineyards: Ambleville, Criteuil, and Lignières-Sonneville covering 47 hectares altogether.
For the last three decades, Françoise Ragnaud-Bricq has carried on the family tradition by supervising the grape harvest each year with her years of savoir-faire.
It has been proofed and bottled at 41% ABV, and arrives in a simple, tall bottle with a red wax bottle seal. The wooden box is truly authentic and will look fantastic on show.
Enjoy this Cognac neat, and at room temperature. It will also go fantastically on the rocks and in a long drink.
Flavour profile
Beautiful floral and citrus aromas introduce this Cognac, followed by orange peel, dried apricot, raisins and a lovely mix of baking spices. On the palate it is round, soft and very easy to drink, but there is plenty going on: peaches, citrus, brown sugar, sultanas, cloves and nutmeg, with touches...
I truly enjoyed this one together with my wife. We found it fresh, sweet, with long aftertaste. The bottle itself is also impressive considering thick glass with a bubbles inside.
Covering 47 hectares of Grande Champagne vineyards, Cognac Raymond Ragnaud is a family run house with a history that can be traced back to 1860.
