Chateau Jousson Cognac 1893: The First Harvest Post-Phylloxera

This Chateau Jousson Cognac Millesime 1893 represents a pivotal moment in the history of the vineyard and distillation. It marks the first harvest after the devastating phylloxera epidemic, a time when the vines, completely replanted, were revived to produce eaux-de-vie of a new kind.
Phylloxera deeply transformed the terroirs, forcing the replanting of vines with resistant grape varieties. The 1893 vintage is thus the result of a process of rebirth, where winemakers adapted their expertise to a new reality. This cognac retains traces of age-old tradition while evolving to match the changing landscape of the vineyards.
With careful aging, this vintage stands out for its deep, complex, and delicate aromas, reflecting a revival in cognac production. It offers a flavor that blends the history of pre-phylloxera production with the modernity of the cultivation and distillation techniques of the era.
The Chateau Jousson 1893 Cognac is a unique piece, rich in both history and quality, offering connoisseurs a rare opportunity to experience the essence of the first harvest after phylloxera, a key moment in the evolution of cognac.
