Chateau de Montifaud Heritage Louis Vallet

Chateau de Montifaud Héritage Louis Vallet Cognac is a very rare Cognac that was distilled by the third generation of Chateau de Montifaud, Louis Vallet - containing blends of eau-de-vie from 1947-1955. Drawn from the most precious barrels of the Château de Montifaud, this cognac stands proud as a prized emblem of several generations of the Vallet family at Chateau de Montifaud.

Matured in French oak barrels for half a century, the alcohol level of this very old cognac has naturally reduced down to less than 50%, meaning Heritage Louis Vallet Cognac has almost attained its optimal in fullness and contains the expected exceptional rancio to match. Once aging has reached its peak, this cognac will be stored in the glass of Dame Jeanne in order to stop maturation completely.

With its chalky land content and prominent limestone, the Petit Champagne region is the ideal terroir for producing prime quality cognac, and so, it comes as no surprise that cognac houses alike have been reaping the benefits of the land here for decades. Chateau de Montifaud is a brand that values tradition and with this in mind, continues to pass on years of artisanal expertise, generation after generation, through a tight knit family-run business.
