Raymond Ragnaud 2002 - Vintage Cognac

Description

The house Raymond Ragnaud has a unique collection of vintages from 1990 to 2006 without interruption. To preserve their authenticity, no caramel, wood or sugar is added. Only a slight reduction with distilled water is carried out, with no pressure filtration or chilling. Like all Cognacs from the house of Raymond Ragnaud, this 2002 vintage is made from grapes grown exclusively in the prestigious Grande Champagne cru, a sumptuous blend of eaux-de-vie from the 2002 harvest. The bottle format is fairly classic and faithful to tradition, while a fairly exhaustive label concerning product details will attract the most discerning connoisseurs. This 2002 sports a superb amber color. The nose is full-bodied and beautifully displays the influence of the cask with aromas of nuts, almonds, cereals, as well as various spicy nuances. The fruitiness is strong, with notes of baked apple and pear, apricots Secs delicately interwoven. A slight hint of chocolate and coffee is also perceptible. The palate is rich and fat, full of savory notes of candied fruit cake, fruit Secs. A subtle flavor of orange peel, tangerine, brings vivacity and freshness. Walnut, almond and brioche complete the picture for a complex, balanced patchwork. The long, dry finish on citrus, vanilla and spices makes this Cognac an energetic, elegant digestif.
