Maison Ferrand is a family business since 1989, where there was a meeting between Alexandre Gabriel and one of the oldest cognac producing families in France, the Pierre Ferrand family. The headquarters are located in Paris. Alexandre Gabriel came up with the idea to produce again cognac that reflects the outstanding traditional character of Grande Champagne.
The vines, on the slopes of Ferrand Cognac's Grande Champagne, ripen in fertile soils with plenty of sunshine.
Ferrand Légendaire Grande Champagne Cognac undergoes a double distillation in pot stills. Only the oldest and rarest Ferrand reserves are used for production - the grapes rest for decades in the best barrels. The contents of the old barrels are transferred to a 'zebra' wooden barrel. This striped effect of the barrel is due to staves that are gradually replaced with new longitudinal wood every few years.
Alexandre Gabriel, Master Blender of Ferrand Cognac for over 30 years, has created this excellent and rare bottling.
The famous crystal masters of Waltersperger have made a mouth-blown crystal decanter, in the heart of the Bresle Valley in Haute-Normandie in France.
It is a limited bottling.
