ABK6 Cognac

ABK6 Cognac

ABK6 Cognac was launched by Francis Abecassis in 2006 to appeal to a younger audience than traditional cognac. Its name, pronounced in French, sounds exactly like "Abecassis". It was used by his daughter Elodie as a shortened signature in text messages and eight years later, at the age of 27, she heads the business with her father.

The fruity character of the ABK6 cognac comes from the calcareous soil and the climate on the hills where the vineyards stand. Another important factor is that the eaux-de-vie used in the cognac is stored significantly longer than other cognacs.

"Our goal is to create a very soft and round quality," says Basement Master Christian Guérin. "We have always wanted to keep a fruit rich style that is characterized by this" Single Estate".
