Raymond Ragnaud
This house is small and from Ambleville in Grande Champagne but it has always made exceptionally fine cognacs. It has had a colourful family history but always produces some of the best cognacs in the region, typically with a citrus finish. The 44 hectare estate in Ambleville sits on a chalky slope and produces some very mellow cognacs.
