Single Estate, A belief
“I am convinced that blending “eaux de vie” coming from a Single Estate
gives the Cognac inimitable character and depth. To extract the fruit of my
terroirs, I have decided to master each step of production on our estates.
Our three brands: ABK6, LEYRAT and REVISEUR, have been awarded by
more than 60 medals in major international tasting competitions in the
past five years.
I hope to have the pleasure to welcome you on my estates in the near
future.”
Francis Abécassis, Owner.
Our Philosophy:
ABK6 NEW
RANGE
Tasting notes
ABK6 VS Pure Single
Gold and amber colour.
The initial nose has
aromas of apricots and
fresh grapes which then
evolve towards light
spices and pastry notes.
The palate is elegant
with a good presence
and an exceptional
length.
ABK6 Cognac –
VSOP Grand Cru
The nose is complex with
stewed fruit and woody
notes which are followed
by brioche, vanilla, apple
and cinnamon notes. The
palate has an excellent
full structure with a long
finishing of vanilla and
woody flavours.
ABK6 Cognac - XO Family
Reserve
Deep old gold in colour.
The nose displays
aromatic richness with
dried fruits, nuts and the
liquorice aromas typical
of very mature Cognacs.
The palate is dense and
smooth yet elegant and
with considerable finesse.
AMBITION: In order to answer to the
expectations of a new generation of brown
spirits consumers, ABK6 gives local roots to its
Cognacs, bringing that way more authenticity
to the message proposed.
PACKAGING: An original and elegant bottle
combines an affirmative modernity with its
marked shoulders, with a deep respect of the
Cognac tradition, displayed in a rich and
informative front-label.
FAMILY: Fully owned by the Abécassis family,
the company offers reactive and efficient
marketing packages to distributors aiming at
bringing more value in their Cognac portfolio.
LE REVISEUR
RANGE
Tasting notes
Le Réviseur VS Le Réviseur VSOP Le Réviseur XO Le Réviseur ORIGIN
A very fresh first nose
displays touches of plums
and almonds. The palate
is light, pleasant and well
balanced.
Old gold in colour with
amber tints. The fruity and
elegant nose has an
additional touch of spice.
The nose evolves to oaky
and grilled notes. The
palate is full with pleasant
elegance and a clean finish.
Amber in colour
The initial nose has soft oak
and vanilla. The nose develops
to a very elegant rancio with
delicious dried fruit and nut
aromas. The palate is soft and
lingering with liquorice and
rancio flavours.
Golden amber in colour.
A powerful first nose is driven by
spice and honey. The nose
evolves towards pepper
and cinnamon with soft honey and
buttery richness. The palate is dense,
clean at the same time and slightly
dry: the REVISEUR trademark.
