Cognac Park Fins Bois Single Cru Cognac 750ml

Cognac Park Fins Bois Single Cru represents the Tessendier family's dedication to showcasing the unique character of each cognac region. By focusing exclusively on Fins Bois—cognac's largest cru often overshadowed by more prestigious names—this expression proves that exceptional quality exists throughout the appellation when producers commit to excellence. Single cru bottlings like this reveal terroir in its purest form.

Fins Bois, with its clay-limestone soils, produces cognacs known for their immediate fruit-forward appeal and round, generous character. The Tessendier family carefully selects eaux-de-vie that exemplify these qualities, aging them separately to preserve the cru's distinctive personality. The result appears golden amber in the glass, bright and inviting. The nose immediately showcases Fins Bois character—ripe orchard fruits dominate, particularly pear and yellow apple, supported by honey and gentle vanilla from oak aging.

On the palate, this single cru expression delivers exactly what Fins Bois promises—approachable elegance with surprising depth. The texture is notably round and smooth, carrying flavors of fresh fruit compote, honey, and subtle baking spices. Unlike the more austere Grande Champagne expressions, this Fins Bois shows immediate charm while maintaining real complexity. Oak influence is perfectly judged, providing structure without masking the fruit. The finish is medium-long with lingering notes of honey and spice. This is an educational cognac that demonstrates how terroir influences character, perfect for those exploring the differences between cognac's various crus.
