Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this Cognac "Barrique 79" comes from the Grande Champagne region, the most prestigious of the Cognac production area. The Cognac "Barrique 79" has been aged for more than 40 years in French oak barrels in the cellars of the Forgeron estate, and has a natural strength of 54% vol. Predominantly woody and powerful, it will be appreciated as a digestive, with a Quai d'Orsay Impérial cigar.

One of the younger brands in the region, the first Michel Forgeron Cognac was released in 1977. The house speciality is single vintage releases bottled at high ABV, not typical of the category. The Forgeron family still manages the estate, living by Michel’s credo ‘work hard, produce better.’
Visual inspection: Barrique 79' Cognac has a mahogany colour with hints of amber.Olfactory examination: A first, very expressive floral nose is followed by a dominant woody nose: Bee's wax, chocolate. Taste test: A very lively and expressive Cognac in the mouth. Still a great freshness on the palate.
