Cognac Park Borderies Single Vineyard Cognac 750ml

Cognac Park Borderies Single Vineyard represents the ultimate expression of terroir in cognac production. By focusing on fruit from a single vineyard within the already small Borderies cru, this bottling showcases the unique characteristics that specific soil, microclimate, and vineyard management can impart to the final spirit. It's a philosophy more common in wine but revolutionary in cognac.

The Tessendier family, with four generations of expertise, selected this particular vineyard for its exceptional aromatics and distinctive character. The clay-limestone soils of Borderies, combined with the specific conditions of this single plot, create eaux-de-vie of remarkable intensity and precision. The color is pure gold, suggesting both youth and vibrancy. The nose immediately announces its Borderies origin with pronounced violet notes, but there's also a mineral quality—almost chalky—that speaks to its specific terroir. Fresh pear and white peach provide fruit complexity.

The palate reveals the purity that single-vineyard selection can achieve. Clean and precise, with flavors that seem to have extra definition and clarity. The signature Borderies florals are present but integrated with citrus notes and a distinctive minerality that sets this apart from blended expressions. The texture is elegant rather than heavy, with a brightness that makes it exceptionally food-friendly. The finish is long and pure, with that mineral note returning alongside gentle spice and lingering florals. This is cognac for purists and terroir enthusiasts, demonstrating that place matters as much in spirits as in wine. A fascinating expression that rewards careful attention.
