Jacques Esteve Petit Champagne Hors d'Age Cognac

Jacques Esteve is a 6th generation cognac producer operating on a 49 hectares estate in Celles, a part of the Petite Champagne region that is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Grande Champagne; the two regions are separated by a small stream called the Né. This close proximity, identical subsoil, and a widely-recognized know-how generate Cognacs with a finesse that is renowned within the region. The Esteves are independent producers in the Petite Champagne whom everyone in the Cognac region knows, like, and respects. Much of that esteem comes from their organization, hospitality, and approachability, but the great majority of reverence comes from their adherence to tradition and their marvelous collection of young, middle-aged, and pre-phylloxera cognacs. 

Bottled at 80 proof and made from 100% Ugni Blanc and distilled on the Lees. Comprised of the 2006 vintage alone with none of the permitted additives except water. Lightly tropical, apricot preserves, white peaches, fig cake, hazelnuts and milk chocolate, with a long, lean finish and delicate grip.
