| The "Très Vieille Fine Bourgogne” 43% results from the distillation of noble lees of the best appellation contrôlée Burgundy wines from the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. Actually, the lees selected by Joseph CARTRON consist in the thick part of the wine which is left in the bottom of the barrel at the time of the bottling. They are carefully kept in sealed barrels before being distilled by itinerant distillers. They are wine-growers who are still using a traditional pot-still, made of copper. These stills are frequently over a century old, as they are transmitted from father to son. The distiller carefully separates the first and the last running from the heart of the distillation, which ke keeps exclusively. It shows then a volume of alcohol of around 50 %.. The itinerant distiller is a man of experience who deals with small volumes and knows perfectly how to produce a high quality wine brandy. After they are distilled the "fines" are poured into large oak casks. At that stage begins the long period of ageing that lasts at least seven years. The art and the ancestral know-how of the House of Joseph CARTRON will strongly contribute to the quality of the ageing, and last but not least, help chosing the best time for commercialisation. "The nose is typical, very specific, but not aggressive. The Burgundian terroir taste appears immediately. It is delicate and lengthy in the mouth, and yet shows a supple and round blending. A complex bouquet of aromas remains in the mouth for a long time. It should be served as an ideal after-dinner drink. " |
