Fanny Fougerat
- Cognac, France
"Cognac: The New Wave”.
The cognacs they present are the product of the imagination and hard work of a handful of men and women representing the new generation of cognac producers. With a perfect command of the appellation's codes and traditions, they innovate and set themselves apart with products designed for the experience of connoisseurs and consumers alike. They bring diversity, surprise, pleasure and uniqueness to the category, because they share strong humanist and environmental values, and all have a taste for the long haul.”
Fanny’s family are 4 generations of cognac winemakers and distillers. The Cognacs were usually used in the blends of the big players. Fanny decided to create her own brand in 2013, to value the families’ traditions.
Fannys family owns 14 plots of Ugni Blanc. Four plots in Saint-Bris-des-bois and ten plots in Burie, Cru BORDERIES.
Traditionally, Cognac is the product of a blend of different vintages and/or ages. When Fanny created her brand, she decided to do things differently:
She decided to isolate, vinify and then distill her parcels separately, in order to select only the quintessence of each cru and, above all, to reveal the typicity of each terroir. So that each cuvée has its own unique character.”
Her Cognacs are all very distinct micro-provenances of the vineyard. Then distilled and matured individually
She elaborates Cognacs, revealing the identity of their wines and their terroir.
These are winemaker and distiller’s cognacs with no artificial coloring or sugars added.
