Ten generations is a long time to hold onto the same land. The families behind Pierre Ferrand have grown vines and distilled cognac in the heart of Grande Champagne long before any of them could have guessed their knowledge would one day be gathered into a single bottle called 10 Generations.
Expert's Description
Pierre Ferrand 10 Generations 1er Cru de Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 44%.
The name refers directly to the long line of winegrowers and distillers whose experience the house draws on, a legacy stretching from the eighteenth century to today, where Alexandre Gabriel has run production from Château de Bonbonnet since 1989. The 1er Cru de Cognac designation guarantees that the grapes come exclusively from Grande Champagne, the most celebrated of Cognac's districts.
10 Generations is meant as a bottle that gathers this legacy into a single, approachable expression, where maturity and craftsmanship weigh heavier than a stated vintage or age declaration.
The bottle suits anyone who wants a cognac with roots deep in history, without it needing to sit on a pedestal to be enjoyed.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The aroma offers ripe fruit and a light sweetness of vanilla, supported by a hint of spice from the oak.
Palate
On the palate the cognac is round and warm, with fruit and vanilla leading and a dry, oaky structure giving it edge.
Finish
The finish is mild and lingering, where spice and lightly toasted oak remain longest on the palate.
