Cognac Godet, Cognac Folle Blanche Single Grape - 70cl
(€168.58 L)
Rarity from the Atlantic Coast: Cognac from Folle Blanche; Orange and Marmalade on the Palate
The Folle Blanche is one of the grape varieties that nearly disappeared following the phylloxera outbreak in the 19th century. This grape is distinguished by its aromas of acacia, honeysuckle, and linden.
Producer: The House of Godet traces its origins back to Bonaventure Godet, a Dutch merchant who settled in La Rochelle in the 16th century. Taking advantage of the strategic location on the Atlantic coast, he began exporting wine and salt. To better preserve the wines, he had them distilled—thus, cognac was born. This innovation quickly gained favor, even with royal courts.
Today, five centuries later, the Godet brothers—Jean-Édouard, Maxime, and Cyril—represent the 15th generation carrying forward the family tradition. While most modern cognacs are made primarily from the juice of the Ugni Blanc grape, Godet takes a different path: they focus on rare grape varieties like Folle Blanche, Montils, and Colombard to create unique blends.
Tasting Notes, Color: Golden honey tones, Aroma: Acacia, honeysuckle, linden. Palate: Flavors of orange and marmalade unfold, followed by a finish of nutmeg
