0.7 ltr., 40% alc.This is a rare and exciting cognac - produced by the house Bouyer-Dubosquet and aged for more than 80 years. A german gourmet magazine ("Der Feinschmecker") once organized a blind tasting (only experts and sommeliers took part) with high end cognac like Hennessy Richard and Rémy Martin Louis XIII and this cognac was the best!
This is what the producers tells on his homepage:
"When Henri de Navarre visited the Charente Region in 1592, he was offered a bottle of La Fontaine de la Pouyade by Vincent Bouyer. During the past four centuries, La Fontaine de La Pouyade was exclusively and is still today reserved for the members and privileged connaisseurs and friends of the Bouyer-Dubosquet family.
Only one quality exists: the very best at the top of the niche of the great cognacs. La Fontaine de La Pouyade is coming exclusively from the heart of the limited Cognac region: La Grande Champagne legally classified Premier Cru. When creating, every step of the process is controlled meticulously. All grapes used in the creation of La Fontaine de La Pouyade come exclusively from the chalky hills of the limited area of the Grande Champagne Premier Cru where the Folle Blanche is planted, as the two others, and where the sun rays are the most intense. The surface planted with Folle Blanche represents today only one per cent of the entire Cognac Region.
The distillation, year after year during the winter, is performed according to secret, ancient distillation process which will later give, when tasting, this large and harmonic palette of spicy perfumes, fruits and flowers like the violet, so specific to the Grande Champagne. La Fontaine de La Pouyade is presented in a traditional wax sealed XVIIth century style hand-blown bottle with a 24 carats gilded label, identified by a unique number engraved in the glass." This is what experts write about this cognac.
