The Ragnaud Sabourin Florilège NV is a mature Grande Champagne Cognac from a family-owned producer renowned for its long-aged eaux-de-vie. Crafted from estate-grown Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche and aged for decades in French oak, Florilège showcases the depth, complexity and distinctive rancio character associated with well-aged Cognac from the region.
The nose is rich and expressive, revealing aromas of baked apricot, orange peel and quince layered with notes of honey, toffee, vanilla and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and textured, delivering flavours of candied fruit, dried fruits, dark chocolate, leather and warming spice. The finish is exceptionally long and complex, with lingering notes of rancio, oak and sweet spice.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Cognac for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a mature Grande Champagne expression with remarkable depth and complexity. Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass, allowing the aromas to open gradually. An excellent after-dinner Cognac that rewards slow appreciation and special occasions.
