Jean-Luc Pasquet Tresors de Famille Le Cognac de Charles L.98 1998 Cognac

Jean-Luc Pasquet Tresors de Famille Le Cognac de Charles L.98 1998 Cognac is a limited single-cask Petite Champagne Cognac honoring Charles Leroux and his family's pioneering commitment to organic viticulture. Distilled in 1998 from organically grown Ugni Blanc, the Cognac was matured from the outset in new, coarse-grained Limousin oak with a heavy toast. It was bottled in July 2025 at its natural strength of 52.7% ABV, yielding only 648 bottles. The long maturation and distinctive oak treatment create an intense profile combining ripe fruit with vanilla, spice and mature woody character.
