Marc Pesnot Folle Blanche 2023 750ml

The Folle Blanche grape that is typically used to make Cognac, has very thin skin and problems reaching optimum ripeness. The AOC authorizes 78 hl/ha and 300kg/ha of sugar added, so most producers don’t wait for this optimum natural ripeness and take the easy (although resulting in bland flavor) way. Marc Pesnot, on the contrary, harvests his grapes when they are ripe, helped by lowering the yields – sometimes as low as 8hl/ha – and caring for the vines organically.
