Jean-Luc Pasquet Tresors de Famille Le Cognac d'Andre L.68/72 Fins Bois Cognac

Jean-Luc Pasquet Tresors de Famille Le Cognac d'Andre L.68/72 Fins Bois Cognac is an exceptional single-cask, single-estate, multi-vintage Cognac selected from the vineyards of Andre Porchet in Asnieres-la-Giraud. Produced entirely from Ugni Blanc in the Fins Bois cru, Lot L.68/72 represents some of Andre's earliest years as a winegrower and distiller. The component vintages were blended in the early 1980s and remained untouched thereafter. Jean-Luc Pasquet selected the cask for its unusually expressive character and remarkable balance at high strength, ultimately bottling 738 bottles at 54.3% ABV on September 7, 2022.
