Michel Forgeron’s Folle Blanche XXO stands as the most mature and captivating expression of the range  a 15-year-old Cognac that reveals the full depth, elegance and aromatic power this historic grape can achieve in Grande Champagne.

The amber robe with copper reflections signals long ageing without heaviness: clarity, richness and a beautiful natural viscosity.

The nose is profound, enveloping and irresistibly complex. An elegant rancio unfolds with dried fruits, supple fig, and candied orange zest. A warm thread of toffee, fresh vanilla and precious woods follows, enhanced by a subtle hint of moka. In the background, a delicate smoky nuance emerges reminiscent of an extinguished fireplace, soft and atmospheric.

On the palate, the texture is silky, broad and velvety. The complexity is generous yet perfectly controlled: prune, beeswax, blond tobacco, a touch of coffee, and that same refined, discreet smokiness. A vibrant saline-mineral tension stretches the palate, bringing balance, freshness and remarkable elegance.

The finish is extremely long, noble and beautifully muted like embers slowly fading, warm and persistent.

A Cognac for true connoisseurs: deep, smoky, mineral, and exquisitely mature, offering a rare interpretation of Folle Blanche aged to perfection in the Premier Cru of Cognac.
