Pierre Ferrand Cognac Ambre 700ml

Light, crisp and mixable if so desired, this brandy is scented with aromas of golden raisin and honey. On the palate, a flash of vanilla sweetness gives way to notes of oak, tea, allspice, leather and cocoa.

Pouring an attractive light mahogany hue, this brandy shows effusive aromas of baked orange, nougat, toasted almond, and vanilla cake. In tasting there is a mineral core that structures the confectionary flavors leading to a long dry finish. - 2021 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE

Pierre Ferrand doesn’t use VS, VSOP, or XO on its labels, but this flagship bottling from Grande Champagne has an average age of around 10 years and is about 10% Colombard along with the Ugni Blanc. Golden honey in color, with a floral nose of violet and rose and a bit of fresh-cut flower stem. On the palate, there’s soft plum and apricot, some underlying fruit pastry, and a bit of baking spice at midpalate that carries through the finish. Solid value, compares favorably to most VSOPs, and also works in cocktails. (40% abv)

A floral and fresh Cognac from the rarest grapes. Here, we experiment with older, lesser known varieties including the extraordinary Colombard grape. Colombard brings floral notes of lilac and iris, along with fruity notes of apple, pear, apricot, and prune to Ambré, a bright and fresh cognac.
