Fanny Fougerat is a tiny producer which owns 30 hectares of vines, primarily in Borderies but also in Fins Bois. After a long ferment, up to six days, wines from Fins Bois are distilled with the lees to produce a robust spirit suitable for long ageing. This was then aged in French oak, then bottled at 40% ABV. It's a very fruit-driven spirit that really reflects the harvest rather than a house style.
Fresh fruit on the nose with pears, apples and peaches, on the palate there's rich shortbread, stone fruit, vanilla, and almond.
