The wines of this appellation

The wines display a ruby-red hue and are delicate and elegant with a supple, well-balanced tannic structure. They are equally suited to early drinking and laying down. They boast fragrances of cherry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, strawberry and notes of liquorice, leather and vanilla. Whites made predominantly from Sauvignon are dry with a pleasant bouquet, brimming with freshness on the palate. The sweet whites, drawn from over-ripe Semillon grapes, display an attractive straw-yellow hue. On the palate, they are generous and overwhelmingly supple. The scale of production remains, however, boutique.

Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
