Jonny says: “Jean Luc Pasquet is one of Cognac’s leading organic producers, first embracing organic agriculture in 1998. His style is terroir expressive, producing crisp, distillate driven Cognacs. This Petite Champagne is a vatting from the 2016 and 2017 vintages. ”
Tasting Notes
Aromas of luscious, aged Sauternes and fruit sorbet drift from the glass, building with time into a crisp minerality. The palate is heavenly. Flavours of fruit salad chews, peach skins, apricot and mango all with a squirt of lime juice, dance with perfect balance massaging the senses. Peach, bubble-gum and sweet sake notes linger on the finish. This is exceptional and a prime example of a meticulous producer working in tandem with nature to create a world-class spirit.
