The result of a sunshine-drenched year, the Ragnaud Sabourin 1990 Vintage Millesime Cognac has been produced entirely from Grande Champagne Ugni Blanc grapes and matured for at least two decades. Like all Cognacs from this esteemed house, the grapes for this expression were sourced from the Domaine de la Voute vineyard, making it a single estate bottling. The hot dry summer of 1990 resulted in a welcome second crop which helped replace the earlier affected vines. With excellent sugar and acidity levels, the resulting wine was ideal for creating flavorsome eaux-de-vie with outstanding harmony and structure.

about the producer:
The Ragnaud-Sabourin estate was founded in 1850 by Gaston Briand and his son-in-law Marcel Ragnaud. Today, Annie Ragnaud-Sabourin and her son Olivier carry on the family expertise, focusing exclusively on eaux-de-vie produced from their own vines. Sitting on a hill outside the village of Ambleville in the south of Grande Champagne, this wonderful estate may be small, but it is also one of the most prominent houses in Cognac, selling fine eaux-de-vie to a range of larger companies. However, they always make sure to keep the majority for themselves, which is why the House of Ragnaud-Sabourin boasts unusually large stocks of old Cognac - some of which predate the phylloxera epidemic. As a result, they are able to offer a wide selection of high-end releases.
