Alizé Cognacs, produced by the house of L&L, are composed of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois and Bons Bois areas of the Cognac. These are referred to as the "crus" of Cognac. Alizé Cognacs are further distinguished in their use of the Folle Blanche grape, one of the oldest and rarest varieties in the Cognac vineyard. This variety lends lovely aromas of linden and violet to the brandies as well as generosity and longevity. Distilled in the only existing distillery in the heart of the town of Cognac, Alizé Cognacs are matured in oak barrels from the Limousin region of France crafted by master coopers who have served our company from its beginning, and gently aged in our cellars on the banks of the Charente River. The family behind the Alize Cognacs, Jean Paul and Marie Claude Lafragette, not only have a century long history of winemaking behind them, but are also landowners in one of the most prestigious regions in Cognac, Grande Champagne. Blended from supple, mellow Cognacs from the region's finest microclimates, this refined, fruity spirit shows balanced notes of warm toast and oak in an integrated texture with fine persistence on the finish.
