Jean Fillioux Tres Vieux Tres Vieille Grande Champagne Cognac

Jean Fillioux Tres Vieux Tres Vieille Grande Champagne Cognac is made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested on the Fillioux estate (the estate only grows this single varietal grape). Once the grapes are harvested in late September or early October, they are immediately pressed into a grape must. The must enjoys a high acidity and is lacking in tannins, making it ideal for fermentation and distillation. After Fillioux has fermented the must into a wine, he distills the wine twice through a traditional, antique charentais-pot still.Following distillation, the cognac is aged for a minimum of 25 years in a combination of new and used oak casks. The secret to producing exquisite cognac, Fillioux says, is the having the requisite patience to watch and taste the cognac as it matures.

Distillery Information

Situated along the banks of the Charente River, the Cognac region of France is divided into six different crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaire. The Grande Champagne cru, which comprises approximately 34,000 hectares, is known for its quiet hills and rich, chalky soil, and is considered to produce the finest cognac in the region.In 1880, Honoré Fillioux purchased a tiny, 20-hectare estate in the Grande Champagne region. Upon his death in 1902, Honoré Fillioux passed the estate on to his son, Jean, who eventually passed it along to his son. Today, Pascal Fillioux, the great grandson of Honoré Fillioux, continues to pay homage to his pioneering ancestors by managing every aspect of cognac production at Maison Fillioux.
