Fanny Fougerat Cèdre Blanc Extra Old Cognac is one of the most layered and contemplative expressions in Fanny Fougerat’s lineup, showing how her transparent, terroir-focused approach can evolve beautifully with extended aging. While many older Cognacs lean heavily on oak and oxidative richness, Cèdre Blanc keeps a remarkable sense of lift and precision alongside its depth.

Produced from estate-grown Ugni Blanc in the Borderies and Fins Bois areas, the spirit is aged slowly with a restrained use of wood, allowing the fruit and floral character to remain vivid even after many years in barrel. The name “Cèdre Blanc” hints at the aromatic cedar and lifted spice notes that emerge with age.

The nose is intensely expressive with layers of dried apricot, candied orange peel, acacia honey, white flowers, sandalwood, cedar, vanilla bean, tobacco leaf, and delicate rancio. On the palate, it’s silky and expansive, unfolding gradually with flavors of baked orchard fruit, roasted almond, citrus marmalade, cocoa, black tea, and soft baking spice.

What sets this Cognac apart is the tension between maturity and freshness. There’s real concentration and age here, but the wine never feels weighed down by oak or sweetness. Fougerat’s style tends to preserve energy and aromatic clarity, giving the Cognac a more transparent, almost wine-like personality compared to many heavily blended XO bottlings.

This is a bottle that rewards patience and attention. Given a little time in the glass, it continues to open and reveal new layers of spice, florality, and subtle earthy complexity.
