Pierre Ferrand
The estate of Pierre Ferrand Cognac is located in the golden triangle of the Grande Champagne cru— Angeac-Champagnes. Whilst Pierre Ferrand Cognac has only been inaugurated in 1989, the methods used are very traditional and date back over the centuries.
The house almost exclusively produces old and very old Cognacs that tend to be sold only in high-end outlets.
Pierre Ferrand doesn’t classify their cognacs with the standard VS, VSOP, XO, etc. classifications. Using their own labelling, Ambre, their youngest standard expression, is an average of 10 years. Ferrand uses mostly ugni blanc grapes with a small portion of colombard grapes.
