COGNAC
Le Goût du vrai
To respect the brandy's character, to preserve its purity and its freshness, while developing its natural flavors - that's the reason why the Léopold Gourmel's team takes a great care all the way from wine-growing to cognac-bottling ".
All characteristics, necessary for the birth of a great cognac are
taken into account by Gourmel.
Thus, in the vineyard, graft stocks are deliberately selected as
being little productive. No chemical weedkillers are used and the
grape-harvesting is always done manually. The wine is distilled with
its lees in order to preserve the brandy's body and flavor. Gourmel
refrains from any incorporations cognacs that spend 8 months in new
casks and anything from 4 to 15 years in red casks, before being
reduced from 36 months up to 7 years.
"l'Age du Fruit", the youngest cognac proposed by Léopold
Gourmel, has spent more than 7 years in casks, including 36 months of
reduction. Its pale-gold colour, its fruity flavors, its roundness in
the mouth and its fine vanilla taste express perfectly a greatest
will to preserve the natural in this product of exception, the cognac
Léopold Gourmel.
