A must try for the beginner: Ragnaud Sabourin Alliance No 4 (VS)

After the vintage cognac by Frapin I´ve decided to try something lighter. I chose Ragnaud Sabourin Alliance No 4 (VS), which is the most basic and in terms of the  price also the most accessible spirit of this producer.

Ragnaud Sabourin is a family owned company that is engaged in the production of cognac since 1850, right in the heart of Grande Champagne appellation. They produce blended and vintage cognacs - from basic VS to specialties such as LeParadis, which is a blend of "eau de vie" from the beginning of the last century and also includes 10% share of the Cognac produced before the disaster with the phylloxera (ie. Before 1870). Just the ideal candidate for my collection, provided that I learn, how to save money properly.

Tasting notes

Colour: very light
Smell: light floral notes
Taste: intense, a touch drier, with slight hints of oak barrels
Finish: Langer, but enjoyable 

Recommendation: Nice and simple cognac, ideal for those who are just getting started. Well worth it´s price of 30 euro per bottle. I say: Give it a go.
