Chateau de Montifaud Description
Grapes variety: Ugni-blanc, Folle blanche. Soils: limestone. Harvest: maturity controls ; grapes are pressed within 30 minutes after picking up to avoid oxidation. Pressing: 3 pneumatic presses to fill each one of 50hl very quickly and to reduce oxidation. This is a softest way to press grapes and respect quality. Wine-making: fermentation temperatures control (maximum 26° to keep all aromas), and then wine storage on the lees for optimum conservation without sulfites addition & to concentrate floral aromas. Artisanal Distillation: the white wine is distilled with the lees very slowly ; it develops also roundness and concentrates the floral character of the cognac. The ‘cut’ is only made by tasting. Ageing: aged in old cask, so not too much Tannin (Limousin oak). At the present time it ages in old casks, but will be soon in “demijohn”. Reduction: The percentage of alcohol of this very old cognac has decreased naturally to 50% Alc. then it is reduced of 5%vol a year to reach 40%vol. Blending: 1 growth ; and this is a blend of very old cognacs. Filtration: soft filtration to keep maximum flavor and aromas; this quality process keeps the cognac just below the cloudy point. Bottling: by hand at Château Montifaud estate
