Brandy Sainte Louise

43% alcohol. Introduced in 2018. Product of France. Ricou Spirits.

"Brandy Sainte Louise is produced in collaboration with a renowned cellar master from Cognac and is comprised primarily of ugni blanc grapes from just outside the Cognac AOC. The traditional, centuries-old French négociant production method of sourcing, aging and blending the highest quality eaux de vie possible utilizes the best of both worlds: production expertise of the cognac region, but without the limitations of the Cognac AOC. The result is an overbuilt French brandy that offers an unmatched quality to price (value) ratio. 

Brandy Sainte Louise is a unique blend of Charentais copper pot distilled eaux-de-vie, aged in French oak between 3 to 10 years in the Cognac region of Charente. The terroir and expertise in this region are legendary and have set the highest standards for brandy production throughout history. 

In regard to age comparison, Brandy Sainte Louise lies between V.S. and X.O., but is offered at a price previously reserved for much more immature brandies that are less balanced in flavor profile. The increased ABV of 43% benefits its function in cocktails, showcasing the flavor and aroma of the Brandy while providing balance and structure for accompanying ingredients."
