JP Chenet Brandy*

Ageing 1 year

Origin France

For our French Brandies, harvests come from different regions of France: mainly

Champagne, Cognac and South of France.

Our French Brandies are made from white varietals such as Colombard, Ugni-Blanc or Chardonnay.

The Process

1. Wine making: harvesting, pressing, then fermentation during 3 weeks.

White wine with strong acidity and low alcohol (9% vol) is required to lead

further a good distillation.

2. Distillation: when boiling in a pot still, the alcoholic vapors, water and

numerous aromatic compounds rise upward and are collected in a condenser

where they become liquid again. The distillation process is carried out twice.

3. Ageing: we lead the ageing process in the North-East of France at

Petersbach village. Brandies are patiently aged in small oak barrels of 500

liters or in bigger oak tanks.

During this process, there is a 2% loss of volume per year, due to evaporation.

4. Blending: Like a Cognac, different Brandies from various casks are

tasted and blended together by the oenologist and cellar master team,

until the final result.

Colour

A beautiful golden amber colour.

Style

Complex, warm, subtly woody flavours with a very smooth palate.
