Pierre Ferrand Single Cask Collection Cognac 2013
Pierre Ferrand Single Cask Collection Cognac 2013 – Rare Grande Champagne Vintage
A younger but no less captivating expression in Pierre Ferrand's celebrated Single Cask Collection, the 2013 vintage showcases the vibrant, fruit-forward character of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie at an earlier stage of its evolution. Aged in a single cask, this cognac offers a fascinating glimpse into the potential of the terroir — bright, expressive, and already showing remarkable complexity for its age.
With notes of dried apricots, honey, and toasted oak, the 2013 Single Cask is a compelling expression for those who appreciate the journey of cognac aging as much as the destination.

- Finish: Clean, fresh, and lingering with a warm, honeyed sweetness
Pairing Suggestions
