Introducing Cognac Raymond Ragnaud VS Selection, a remarkable testament to the inherent richness and elegance of the Grande Champagne region. Officially established in 1941, yet with a heritage dating back to the mid-19th century, Maison Raymond Ragnaud is a bastion of quality and tradition. Under the discerning eyes of Françoise Ragnaud-Bricq and her daughter Stéphanie, the family's 47 hectares of prized vineyards continue to produce eaux-de-vie of unparalleled distinction.

Crafted entirely from Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie and aged for four years in French oak barrels, this spirit showcases an elegantly woven tapestry of aromas and flavors. Expect a delightful interplay of white pepper, ginger, exotic spices, and smoked tea on the nose. The palate offers a graceful balance of floral tones and vanilla sweetness, all contributing to a nuanced and sophisticated tasting journey.
Bottled at 40% alcohol and available in a 70 cl format, the Cognac Raymond Ragnaud VS Selection is both approachable and refined. It presents a golden opportunity for newcomers and aficionados alike to experience the epitome of Grande Champagne craftsmanship at a reasonable price point. Every sip is an invitation—a call to delve into the rich tapestry of a storied house where tradition and passion coalesce into liquid art.
