Guy Pinard Cognac VSOP Six Years

Pinard VSOP is aged for a minimum of 6 years, with this substantial ageing giving great complexity and a soft finish. This is an extremely beautiful melt-in-your-mouth Cognac with luscious dried fruit and nut flavours and a beautiful balance between eau-de-vie and tannin from the oak in which this organic Cognac has aged.

The Pinard family has farmed 17 hectares of organic vineyards around the village of Foussignac near Jarnac and is the first organic Cognac producer. Aware of the harmful effects of chemical products, Georges Pinard and his son Guy decided to convert the entire operation to organic farming in 1969, reconnecting with some of the most virtuous practices inherited from 300 years of vine cultivation on the estate. The little village of Foussignac is in the heart of the “Fins Bois de Jarnac”, a small sub-region that has been renowned for its elegant and floral Cognacs for hundreds of years. This specific terroir, together with the organic methods and the Pinard family know-how leads to authentic organic Cognacs. Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche are used, with the tricky-to-grow Folle Blanche adding a lovely floral character.
