Master Distiller Pierre Goursat Gourry manages his family's Cognac estate, handling all processes personally. The spirit is a combination of ugni blanc, folle blanche, and colombard grapes, harvested, vinified, and distilled collectively. It is distilled to 71% abv and aged in a single 250L used Limousin oak cask. This unfiltered Cognac contains no additives and is uniquely bottled at cask strength, 64.3% ABV. Production was limited to 330 bottles.

This Cognac is overpowering at 64.3%, hitting the palate with pure ethanol. Hints of orange peel and cocoa emerge like faint recollections. Rated 2/5. After adding water, it changes significantly. The alcohol now carries bright orange, dense cocoa, toasted coffee, and nutty flavors to a finish of rich leather and rancio. It recalls the finest Armagnacs from a certain producer. Rated 5/5.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
