COGNAC BERNARD BOUTINET

In the Boutinet family, cognac and pineau hung on the chromosomes: for 150 years the domain is in his hand, almost thirty-five years to named Bernard. Charentais rancio is the result of a combination of several elements: the softness of the weather, the clay and calcareous nature of the earth, oak oak, an elite vine (the white ugni) and… patience, added to humility. Indeed, you must know that a cognac is being developed that can be tasted… in twenty years! It is far from the sacrosanct immediacy of the benefit of its work. Bernard took care of the entire "production chain" of the country's gold: when he took the reins of the house, we (his ancestors) vinifiait, we distillait. He kept bottling as well. Bernard wants to meet the one who will taste the fruit of his work, cognac, it is above all a human story. Let him explain to you what the name VSOP, Napoleon, XO… Let him dissect the body of slowness… Because, in cognac, the duration of ageing is the centrepiece, the one in which the professional base his hopes. If your financial means are restricted (this happens, it happens…), offer yourself a Heart of Purpose Wood, stamped by a carriage, the emblem that Bernard chose to represent his land (tell him that you know that his ancestor Paul has something to see there… he narra the rest…). But it is not only cognac in life… there is also pineau, white or rosé. Some of our man's bottles call "Séraphine." Paul, then Séraphine… The vine blends with poetry.
