A premium offering from the Petite Champagne region.

The Vallet family has owned Château Montifaud for 6 generations. Since 1837, to be precise, when Augustin Vallet founded the vineyard. Then, it was his son, Pierre, who took over the 90-hectare estate in the Grand Champagne and Petite Champagne regions in France. Today, it’s Louis, Michel, and Laurent Vallet who are running things over there. Their style is never blending the two regions in their Cognacs. Instead, they prefer to offer you each region individually with all its pure flavors. They also age their Cognacs twice as long as the law requires them to. And, they use a unique faibles technique to proof their Cognac. The Vallet family has almost 200 years of Cognac-making experience and you can definitely taste that in their Cognacs.

Chateau de Montifaud VSOP Cognac blends together the finest Eaux-de-vie from the Petite Champagne region. Matured for 8-10 years, it spends the first 8 months in new oak. This is a premium Cognac that’s fruity and floral on the nose. The palate is refined and sophisticated. You’ll get the best out of this offering if you savor it neat or with a couple of drops of water.

Nine liters of white Wine must be distilled for a single liter of Cognac!
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
There are three primary grades of Cognac recognized by law: V.S., V.S.O.P., and X.O, but we also know Napoléon, XXO, and Hors d'âge.
Rancio is a highly desirable nutty flavor usually found in extra-aged fortified wines (Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala …) and fruit-based Spirits, namely Cognacs, Calvados, and Armagnac. It appears in Cognac after roughly 10 years of maturing in oak casks, becoming more intense over the years.
There are six different wine-growing areas (crus) authorized to produce Cognac - in descending order of prestige: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires.
Laws concerning Cognac-making are strict as hell. Only three types of grapes may be used, and they can only be harvested in October; Cognac must be aged for at least two years in barrels made from French oak - and get this, from one of two specific forests! Then, the stills must be of a particular French shape (no, not the baguette shape); and we guess La Marseillaise has to be sung during the entire process.
