Tasting Notes
The Ratafia de Champagne finishing casks contribute to a complex and evolving flavor profile. Noted characteristics include a fruit medley with red berries, oranges, and apricots on the nose, along with honey, baked bread, and rye spice. The palate often presents sweet red berries, candied apples, and oranges, balanced by baking spices, cinnamon, honey, and rye spice, with sweet oak and tobacco leaf notes. The finish is described as long, highlighting red berries, candied apples, and sweet oak, and may also include white pepper and toasted sweet maple.
