Description
The Pierre Ferrand Selection Des Anges Cognac is a 30 year old delight from the premier cru of the terroir - Grande Champagne. This delightful Cognac is a real treat for the senses. From the moment you set eyes on its deep mahogany color you'll be entranced. And that's just the beginning of the sensory journey, because this is a Cognac that will take you on a roller-coaster ride of pure pleasure!
From the complex aromas to the ever-changing palate, and let's not forget the truly satisfying length of finish, it's no wonder this is a multi-award winning Cognac.

5 stars all the way
I purchased this bottle on this website and love it. Compared to other cognacs at the same price - you cannot even compare! The 30 years of oak barrel really make a difference, spectacular value for money. One of my favorites (i have about 30 bottles in my cabinet).
About Pierre Ferrand Cognac
The estate of Cognac Pierre Ferrand is located directly in the ‘golden triangle’ of the Grande Champagne region of Cognac and is owned and run by Alexandre Gabriel. Specializing in old and very old cognacs, Pierre Ferrand is only bottled and shipped to order. They have also developed some unique production techniques of their own that are used in the aging and distillation process and have introduced innovative ways of collaborating with smaller scale producers. Both the vineyards and company headquarters are located in the 18th century Château de Bonbonnet at Ars, just 10 kms from the town center of Cognac itself.

The producer reviews 1840 *** Cognac as a "cognac that offers ripe, juicy grapes to the nose, accented with meadow flowers, notes of acacia tree blossom and a bracing hint of cedar. On the palate, it's warm with fruit notes yet still very clean. The finish shows lots of honey and spice."
No tasting note on Pierre Ferrand 1914 Vintage Millésime from our side, but here is a review by Filbert & Gaillard: "Nice bronze colour, nose conists of dark fruits, remarkable freshness and finally a strong, solid rancio. In the mouth: Exceptional explosion of a wide range of fruit, fresh."

Q&A
This is the best cognac among a group of big name brands "select" brandies, without question. Also I was at a Pierre Ferrand tasting event, and I got to try Vintage 1914 and Vintage 1972 along with Ancestrale, 1840, etc. Selection was the best taste of all of them including the $1200 and $600 bottles. It has the most balanced richness to smoothen the burn in the the throat and it has the best long finish. Gotta admit the name is a bit corny, but it kind of deserves the name.
Trying too hard to be a "connoisseur" This is phenomenal cognac, great nose, delicate taste, complex, Iam in love with this cognac! Get it, wont regret it.
this was a great cognac, tried it last night with few friends,it was one of the bottles from the lot # 59. do recommend. can't wait to try the 1914 vintage, but i am saving it for the proper occasion.
