Vinification of Chabasse Cognac Napoleon

The grapes for this cognac are harvested very early and fermented to a very acidic white wine. The acidity protects against oxidation, as cognac is not sulphurised. This base wine is now distilled twice in the copper kettle according to the traditional charentaiser distillation process. Wooden barrels from Limousin oak are chosen for the maturation. This cognac matures in these barrels for 12 years.
