About Hermitage Ambleville

From the centre of the top cru. The area around Ambleville in the centre of Grande Champagne produces probably the truest character of the cru not just from the terroir but also from the traditions of the people who make the cognacs which tend to be of greater dryness but which will also keep for a very long time to develop into some of the very finest.

Details

Pale and delicate in colour and taste. It is made by a highly respected old family in Ambleville near Segonzac in Grande Champagne. The aroma of fresh straw and citrus peel is complemented by a flavour of agave, aloe (gripe water) and almonds.

Additional Information

Aroma Fresh straw and dried tangerine peel. There is also some hazel nut, brioche and floral aromas.
Distillation Small firm with its own medium sized stills. Cognacs are very traditional here and the process is on the lees
Flavour Delicate in taste, the flavour is reminiscent of agave, aloe (gripe water) and almonds. It has a medium length with great balance
Grape Variety Ugni Blanc
Reduction and Strength The cognac is sold at 41% and is required to be reduced with distilled water
Viticulture This is an area of gentle slopes with very porous chalk in several layers, predominantly of the Coniacian variety, allowing the vine roots to penetrate to a deep level
