The wines of this appellation

Irancy display a deep hue and fragrances of cherry, blackcurrant, spices, violet and ‘terroir’. They are solid, robust, tannic wines which are lively and long-lasting on the palate. Although they can be slightly bitter in the early years, they have a prolonged cellaring capacity. The hallmark characteristics of these wines are partly derived from frequent use of the Cesar varietal, which is blended with Pinot. Try with coq au vin, kidneys in a Madeira sauce, beef bourguignon and cheeses.

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.
