About Massougnes
Historically famous pre-phylloxera cognacs. We have dated their records back to 1730, making them the oldest firm of growers and sellers of brandies. We still have a few bottles of this rarest of cognacs dating from around 1801 . The last remaining member of this remarkable family who owned at their peak 360 hectares is the Comtesse de la Bourdeliere. Had France not been a republic, she would be their Queen.
Details
The estate was sadly lost during the phylloxera in 1874 but the last remaining descendant is still alive. The Comtesse de Bordelaise is a direct descendant of the last French Royalty. Although frail, she still lives on the remains of the Estate near Aigre.
Additional Information
| Distillation | The quality of these great cognacs strongly suggests that the estate was well versed in distillation skills since they have not only kept very well but also still have excellent taste relevant to the period. |
|---|---|
| Flavour | A light hazel nut flavour with many complexities of nutty flavours combined with straw and grassy flavours and an array of herby and woody tones all mixed in with a lightness and freshness of the period. |
