Leyrat Passion Cognac

Produced at the Domaine de Chez Maillard in the Fins Bois cru, Leyrat Passion Cognac is an elegant single-estate expression from Domaine Leyrat. Distilled exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes grown, fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled on the estate grounds, this bottling brings together aged eaux-de-vie selected for their vibrant balance of floral aromatics and oak complexity. Maturation in French oak casks grants the spirit a smooth, harmonious character with distinct notes of white peach, honey, floral blossom, vanilla, and delicate wood spice. This release is offered across a range of bottle formats (500ml crystal decanter with a crystal stopper and two 100ml smaller engraved "Maître de Chai" sharing bottles) making it adaptable for personal enjoyment, gifting, or commercial hospitality serving.

Food Pairing: Fresh orchard fruit tarts, soft cheeses like Brie, roasted almonds, light pastry, or enjoyed as a refined aperitif or digestif.

Tasting Notes: Bright golden-amber in appearance with clear honeyed reflections, displaying medium body and smooth, steady legs on the glass.

Nose: Fresh and aromatic, opening with white flowers, fresh peach, and sweet plum, followed by wildflower honey, light vanilla bean, and subtle oak.

Palate: Smooth, rounded, and expressive on the palate, featuring candied stone fruit, citrus nectar, and honey upfront before developing into gentle oak spice, toasted nuts, and soft pastry notes.

Finish: Medium-to-long, clean, and pleasant with lingering notes of sweet dried fruit, light blossom, and gentle wood warmth.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, over ice, or as a sophisticated base in fine spirit-forward cocktails.
