Pierre Ferrand 1840 Original Formula is a Grand Champagne cognac created in the style of a rare 1840 bottle of Pinet Castillon Coganc that was a favorite of original cognac mixologists who tended bar in the nineteenth century. A young cognac that replicates a “three star” cognac - the rough equivalent of a VS cognac before the current designation system was in place - Pierre Ferrand 1840 Original Formula is also ideal for use as a base for cognac cocktails. All Pierre Ferrand cognacs are made from eaux-de-vie from the Angeac terrior that is part of the Grand Champagne growing cru, a micro-terroir that many consider to contain the finest parcels in Grand Champagne.
