Brandy La Flûtiste

700ml

Brandy, a luxurious product that requires more time and effort than wine, is created through the distillation of wine. 'Brandy La Flutiste' is a special brandy made from 100% Koshu grapes, distilled twice in a traditional Charente distiller and aged in oak barrels for more than 15 years. The result is a brandy with a rich, captivating aroma and a light yet profound flavor that beautifully showcases the unique characteristics of the Koshu grapes. As the brandy ages in the barrels, it gradually loses some of its volume, but this natural process only adds to its allure. The appearance of brandy, which can only be achieved through years of patient aging, reminds us to appreciate the slow passage of time, even amidst our busy lives.
