The Ragnaud Sabourin VSOP Selection Du Domaine No.10 NV is a refined Grande Champagne Cognac from the family-owned Ragnaud Sabourin estate, crafted exclusively from estate-grown fruit in Cognac’s premier cru region. Aged for around 10 years in oak casks — significantly longer than the minimum required for a VSOP classification — it delivers impressive depth, elegance and balance while retaining a fresh, fruit-driven style.
The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of stewed apple, pear and dried apricot alongside notes of floral honey, toasted oak, citrus zest and gentle baking spice. On the palate, it is silky and mellow, with flavours of orchard fruits, prune, toffee and subtle chocolate supported by fine oak structure and delicate spice. The finish is long and polished, carrying lingering notes of dried fruit, floral nuances and warm oak spice.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Cognac for those seeking a traditional Grande Champagne expression with both freshness and maturity. Its smooth texture and layered complexity make it approachable for newer Cognac drinkers while offering enough depth for enthusiasts. Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to fully appreciate its aromatic detail and long finish. A superb after-dinner Cognac that can be enjoyed now and over the coming years.
