Chateau Montifaud, VS Petite Champagne Ariane

Chateau Montifaud VS Petite Champagne Ariane is a fresh, lively Cognac from one of the most respected family estates in the region. Made from Ugni Blanc grapes and aged for up to six years, it combines bright citrus character with a touch of oak spice for a style that feels both approachable and refined.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear, youthful brightness that hints at its freshness. The nose opens with crisp citrus fruit and green, herbal notes, followed by a subtle layer of spice from oak ageing. On the palate, it is elegant and well balanced, with a clean fruit-driven core, gentle warmth, and a refined finish that adds complexity without losing its energy. Despite its relatively young style, the six years in cask give it a polished texture and enough depth to linger nicely. It has the structure to remain enjoyable for years, especially for those who appreciate a fresher, more vibrant Cognac style.

Production
This Cognac is produced by the Vallet family from grapes grown in some of the best cru areas of Cognac, including Fine and Grande Champagne, with a focus on the chalky terroir that lends finesse and aromatic precision. Ugni Blanc is the main grape, chosen for its naturally high acidity, which is ideal for producing a balanced base wine. After fermentation, the wine is distilled in January using the family’s traditional copper pot stills, then matured for up to six years before being bottled as VS.

Food & Serving

It also works beautifully as an aperitif or alongside foie gras, mild pâté, fruit-based desserts, or a fine cigar. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is not necessary.
