The Ragnaud Sabourin Fontvieille N°35 NV is a distinguished Grande Champagne Cognac produced by the family-owned Ragnaud Sabourin estate. Named after one of the domaine’s oldest vineyard parcels, this expression is crafted from eaux-de-vie aged for around 35 years, showcasing the depth, complexity and elegance that have made Grande Champagne the most highly regarded cru of Cognac.
The nose is richly aromatic, revealing notes of dried apricot, orange peel and honey layered with hints of liquorice, toasted almond, spice and mature oak. On the palate, it is smooth and beautifully balanced, with flavours of candied fruit, brown honey, citrus zest and dried fruits supported by the distinctive rancio character that develops through extended ageing. The finish is long, complex and persistent, carrying notes of spice, leather and fine oak.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Cognac for those seeking a mature Grande Champagne expression with genuine depth and character. Its extended ageing delivers remarkable complexity while maintaining freshness and balance. Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to fully appreciate its evolving aromas and flavours. A superb bottle for collectors and lovers of traditional, long-aged Cognac.
