Ragnaud Sabourin V.S. No.4 Cognac

One could argue that if you have a good stock of well-aged Cognacs, making a compelling VSOP or XO is easy, as time has done the heavy lifting for you. Making a compelling VS? That takes tremendous skill. Luckily, skill is in great supply at Maison Ragnaud Sabourin where Anne Ragnaud Sabourin and son Olivier reap the benefits of their estate’s premier cru location and multi generation know-how (the estate was founded in 1850) to produce quality Cognacs of unrivalled excellence. Young, racy and energetic, this is a vibrant Cognac that gives aromas of lime tree and hyancinth, high def citrus, mint and toffee.The palate is dense and buttery, where white fruit and soft spices come through on the middle with fresh lime notes. The heart offers apricot, apple and baked fruit. Hints of wood, nougat and a little chewy toffee emerge on the finish.
