Eye: Glimmering, clear amber. 

Nose: Initially subtle perfumes, slowly opening up into lush florals, grapevine and orchard fruit notes. 

Palate: As a result of long and continuous exchanges with the wood, the flavours have become well integrated. Luxurious and distinguished.

Description

Straight From the Heart: Pierre Croizet Valentine Cognac

As delicate on the shelf as it is in the mouth, this is a special bottle for a special occasion. The Pierre Croizet Valentine Cognac has been aged in the oldest of the maturing cellars at Maison Pierre Croizet, where the warmth of its beaten earth floor has softened the effect of contact with the oak. Native to the Fins Bois region, the producer has sourced all the eaux-de-vie for their Valentine’s Day bottling from this underrated cru. Covered by clay and chalk soils known as groies, the Fins Bois has a lot of characteristics in common with the Champagne regions, but can also display a more rustic edge. The heavy soil is around 60% clay, known for producing round, supple eaux-de-vie that age fairly quickly, with vivid and fruity aromas that stay true to the original grape character.

The Croizet family have always passed down knowledge from father and mother to daughter and son, keeping their skills a closely guarded secret. With a fighting spirit to survive, they have overcome many challenges over the years - not least the Phylloxera epidemic of the 1870s, when Amelina Croizet was pivotal in ensuring that the family’s vineyards survived. Over the years, one thing that has remained constant has been to keep the traditional methods firmly in mind, whilst also advancing the Cognac making process.

Today, the family company is in the hands of Leopold Croizet, the latest in a long line of grape growers. Passionate about expanding further, he has acquired further vineyards stretching beyond the Fins Bois region into Petite Champagne - creating the potential for a whole new range of eaux-de-vie with a wider appeal. Regardless of where they harvest their grapes, however, Pierre Croizet Cognac only uses organic fertilizers on their land, keeping firmly to the traditional methods of their ancestors.

Presentation of the Bottle

Strikingly slim and elegant, the bottle features gold foil on the neck and a delicate label showing a floral springtime scene, beautifully complementing the amber liquid contained within.

How to Enjoy Pierre Croizet Valentine Cognac

Finely crafted Cognacs like this deserve attention: pour gently into a tulip glass and let it rest for 30 seconds before taking a sip. To allow the aromas to open up further, a small dash of mineral water could be added.

About Pierre Croizet Cognac

Consisting of 30 hectares of vineyards around a typical Charentaise farm, the Maison Pierre Croizet extends over time. The Cognac house is in the heart of the village, Lantin, near Jarnac. It is a privileged terroir of the Fins Bois cru which benefits from the clay-limestone limits of the Champagne lands.

The entire production is dedicated to the manufacture of cognacs and pineau des Charentes. This family Cognac house of 9 generations has been conducting its vineyard in organic farming for over 20 years. Léopold has been at the head of the property since 2001, he decided to put forward the deep values that have been transmitted to him: "making a quality cognac starts with a reflection on the environment and on time". For him, the future lies in the preservation of his heritage and the deep conviction that the notion of "good farming sense" must regain its place in the work of the land.
