Raymond Ragnaud 1995 - Vintage Cognac

Description

A Cognac distilled from the 1995 harvest only and composed exclusively of Grande Champagne Cognac. The house Raymond Ragnaud has a unique collection of vintages from 1990 to 2006 without interruption. To preserve their authenticity, no caramel, wood or sugar is added. Only a slight reduction with distilled water is carried out, with no pressure filtration or chilling.  Like all Cognacs from the house of Raymond Ragnaud, this 1995 vintage is made from grapes grown exclusively in the prestigious Grande Champagne cru, a sumptuous blend of eaux-de-vie from the 1995 harvest, a very great vintage. The bottle format is fairly classic and faithful to tradition, while a fairly exhaustive label concerning product details will attract the most discerning connoisseurs.  This beautiful eau-de-vie is adorned with a flamboyant bronze-yellow color. The nose is magnificently balanced with very well-melted alcohol. Delicate floral aromas are accompanied by fruity and spicy aromas in a lovely marriage: apricots Secs and pears, orange peel, black pepper and nutmeg. Notes of hazelnut and vanilla add their gourmand touch, and a hint of tobacco and oak just the right amount of austerity.   The palate is resolutely fruity with candied aromas of peaches, apricots and Secs grapes. The body is smooth and unctuous. The mid-palate reveals hints of dark chocolate, as well as a continuation of the spicy notes on the nose: nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper. The finish is long, with fruit Secs, vanilla and dried herbs. A slight tannic sensation of oak wood adds a touch of virility to a very seductive whole.
