Jean Fillioux Grande Champagne Cognac Coq 80

Each year in October, 5th generation owner Christophe Fillioux harvests the Ugni Blanc grapes from his 63-acre vineyard, makes the wine and distills it in his classic alembic stills. After carefully selecting barrels from the cooperage, the young distillate is put to rest for 2 years, absorbing maximum tannins and color. Then comes the "secret": day after day, month after month, year after year, Christophe Fillioux, and his father Pascal, can be found in their cellars sniffing, breathing, tasting, making notes, re-tasting, blending, moving barrels, and listening to his cognacs growing older and older.
