The 2000 Pierre de Segonzac Cognac is a handcrafted Grande Champagne Cognac from the heart of Cognac’s premier cru region, produced by the Ferrand family, whose roots in Segonzac date back to 1702. Made entirely from Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie and matured over many years in French oak, it showcases the finesse, complexity and ageing potential for which the region is renowned. Pierre de Segonzac Cognacs are produced in small quantities with a focus on traditional methods, allowing the purity of the fruit and terroir to shine through.
The nose reveals aromas of honey, dried fruits and toasted almond, complemented by notes of black tea, gentle spice and mature oak. The palate is rich and velvety, with layers of dried apricot, roasted nuts and subtle rancio character supported by a smooth, elegant texture. Complex and beautifully balanced, it finishes long and warming with impressive depth and refinement.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully mature Cognac that offers exceptional complexity and character. Perfect as an after-dinner digestif or paired with dark chocolate, crème brûlée, roasted nuts or a fine cigar. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass and take time to appreciate its evolving aromas and layered palate. Drinking superbly now, with the structure and maturity to provide enjoyment for many years to come.
