Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "single cask" mean?
Single cask means the cognac comes entirely from one individual barrel, rather than being blended across multiple casks. This results in a unique, unrepeatable expression with its own distinct character.
Why is it bottled without filtration?
Bottling without filtration preserves the cognac's full natural texture, color, and flavor compounds that would otherwise be removed during chill filtration. The result is a more authentic, expressive spirit.
What is Folle Blanche?
Folle Blanche is a rare, historic grape variety once widely used in cognac production before phylloxera devastated French vineyards. Its inclusion adds a distinctive floral and fruity complexity rarely found in modern cognac.
How should I drink Pierre Ferrand Single Cask 2001?
Neat, in a tulip glass, at room temperature. Given its unfiltered, natural-strength character, a small drop of water can help open up the aromas without diminishing its complexity.
