Jean-Luc Pasquet Cognac L'Organic 04 (70cl, 40%)

A biological Fine Champagne Cognac made from Ugni Blanc. The number 04 indicates the minimum age of the youngest Cognac included: four years. The distillates spend about twelve months in two-year-old French Limousin oak casks of 400 litres, then mature further in used casks. For this assemblage, Cognacs from 16 casks were selected, combining 75% Grande Champagne with 25% Petite Champagne from the 2018 harvest. Jean Pasquet composed the blend, which was bottled by hand at 40% on 26 September 2023. It is not chill-filtered, has its natural colour and contains no added sugar. The 70cl bottle is supplied without gift packaging. Nose: intense and pronouncedly fruity, with light grapes and pears, citrus notes and oak, plus a subtle oak spice. Palate: grapes in the foreground, accompanied by fine pear notes and grapefruit. Finish: grape notes and subtle oak nuances remain in the lasting aftertaste.
