François Voyer Grande Champagne Extra Cognac 700mL
François Voyer Grande Champagne Extra Cognac
Grande Champagne Premier Cru Cognac | Ugni Blanc | 42% ABV / 84 Proof | 700mL
Process & Profile
François Voyer Extra brings together mature eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Cognac’s Premier Cru. Made from Ugni Blanc grapes, this expression pairs deep mahogany color with an aromatic profile of warm spice, dried fruit, vanilla, and cigar box.
The producer describes the blend as containing eaux-de-vie aged more than 10 years and up to 45 years. That range describes its components; it is not a 45-year age statement. Bottled at 42% ABV, Extra offers a long, layered development of flavor suited to unhurried tasting.

How to Enjoy
Pour a small measure into a tulip-shaped tasting glass and let it rest briefly before exploring the aromas. Start neat at a comfortable room temperature; if you prefer a softer presentation, try a few drops of water in a separate taste.
For a pairing, try a small piece of dark chocolate or lightly toasted nuts. Taste the cognac first, then add the food so you can judge how the pairing changes its fruit and spice notes.
