Cuvée presentation

An official single cask of François Voyer Cognac distilled in 2006 and bottled for the 70th anniversary of Velier in 2017. Velier was founded in Genoa by Casimir Chaix in 1947. It was originally a small, family-run business specializing in the import and distribution of wine and spirits. Luca Gargano, a former representative for Saint James and serious rum collector and enthusiast, bought the business in 1986 and began bottling whisky first in 1992 and then rum in 1996. After his legendary bottlings of Demerara rum (Guyana) and Caroni (Trinidad), Gargano extended his exploration of Caribbean rum into other territories, including Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti and Marie-Galante. Rums selected by Velier are only ever aged in a tropical climate, which explains both their concentration and the high angels’ share. They are generally bottled at cask strength or just below. A limited edition of 338 bottles.

The distillery François Voyer

They may not be the most famous, but Voyer cognacs are certainly some of the highest quality cognacs on the market and are frequently found on the menus of Michelin star restaurants. The family-owned house founded in 1870 distils wines made from grapes grown at their own vineyard, which spans some 28 hectares in the Cognac premier cru of Grande Champagne, between the towns of Verrières and Ambleville. These wines are primarily made with Ugni Blanc grapes grown using certified sustainable and High Environmental Value methods, resulting in acidic wines ideal for distillation that develop a wide palette of aromas once in contact with the oak barrels. Cognacs François Voyer also work with a large number of other winegrowers in Grande Champagne.
The house was taken over in 2017 by its cellar master and oenologist of 20 years, Pierre Vaudon, who has continued to perpetuate the style developed by five generations, with cognacs that boast incredible ageing capacity. The Paradis, which is home to hundred-year-old eaux-de-vies, is yet to reveal all its secrets.
