Character Goatson

A brilliant Grand Champaign Cognac made with Colombard grapes for a floral and fruit-forward profile.

Maison Ferrand began as the farm and vineyards of Pierre Ferrand whose family had harvested grapes for ten generations. In 1989 to earn some extra money, Alexander Gabriel set about to contract his business-school education to help the struggling farm pull itself out. Pierre offered him a stake in the business and soon he bought out the entire operation. Since then he has not only thrived, but earned the respect of all the established Cognac houses in the region and expanded to include lines of Spirits from around the world, including Plantations Rum, Citadelle Gin, and more.

Pierre Ferrand Ambré is made from the most sought-after grape region in Cognac — Grand Champaign. More, they have used Colombard grapes from this region to bring fare florals of lily and iris along with autumn fruits to the palate. It is bright and fresh and a winner of the Gold Medals at the Cognac Masters Competition and the Chicago Beverage Testing Institute. And if you are into Cognac cocktails, Maison Ferrand says this one is perfect for a classic Sidecar.

Citadelle Gin is produced by Maison Ferrand in the same pot still as their Cognacs.
There are three different qualities of Cognac recognized by law: V.S. (very special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and X.O. (Extra Old).
Believe it or not, the French aren’t all that fond of Cognac. In fact, they export nearly 90% of their production.
Cognac is a form of distilled Brandy. For a spirit to be labeled Cognac, it must be made from specified grapes, of which Ugni Blanc is the one most widely used. It must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais.
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.
Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a variety of brandy (distilled wine). It is only produced in the wine-growing region surrounding this town. Cognac must be made from specified grapes, be twice distilled in copper pot stills, and be aged at least two years in French oak barrels. Most Cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement.
