Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac
Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac – Elegant Grande Champagne Expression
A celebration of terroir and tradition, Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac is distilled from a rare blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes — the latter a variety seldom used in modern cognac production — and aged in Quercus Sessiliflora oak, a fine-grained wood that imparts exceptional elegance and complexity. The result is a cognac of remarkable finesse, brimming with the aromas of flowering vines, pear, and plum.
Ambre represents Pierre Ferrand's commitment to preserving the authentic character of Grande Champagne cognac — expressive, aromatic, and deeply rooted in the Charente terroir.
