Jean-Luc Pasquet 2017 - 2023 #72 Collective #1 The Pioneers

Jean Luc Pasquet is one of Cognac’s leading organic producers, first embracing organic agriculture in 1998. His style is terroir expressive, producing crisp, distillate-driven Cognacs. This Petite Champagne is a vatting from the 2016 and 2017 vintages.

Luscious, aged Sauternes and fruit sorbet aromas drift from the glass, building into a crisp minerality with time. The palate is heavenly. Flavours of fruit salad chews, peach skins, apricots and mango, all with a squirt of lime juice, dance with perfect balance, massaging the senses. 

Peach, bubble gum, and sweet sake notes linger on the finish. This is exceptional and a prime example of a meticulous producer working in tandem with nature to create a world-class spirit.
