Château de Triac
Single Vineyard
All the cognac in this blend comes from the vineyards of the Braastad family's castle. The blend has matured in very old oak casks, mostly from the Tronçais forest.
A cognac from the limestone-rich soil of the Château's vineyards on the border to Grande Champagne, develops floral tones when aged for a long time. This cognac is pure and natural with very light oak aromas due to the aging in old casks.
Tasting Note
This single estate is pure and natural with very light oaky aromas due
to the ageing in old barrels. A great harmony and balance between
oak and fruit aromas.
