Eau de Vigne is a blend of different unaged eaux-de-vie. It’s a throwback to the “blanche” (unaged grape eau-de-vie) tradition – once very much enjoyed on its own. The success of aged grape spirits such as Cognac and Armagnac have little by little pushed this noble white spirit out of the limelight.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: The nose is fine and delicate, revealing both floral notes (violet, white flowers) and fruity ones (mirabelle plum, pear).
PALATE: The palate is round, light, with beautiful persistence. Without sweetness, it is well-balanced with predominantly fruity flavors.
