On her tour of Cognac HANNAH BALLANTYNE has a barrel of laughs
-
A DARK amber liquid was indeed the first thing that impressed me when I arrived in Cognac, yet it wasn’t what I expected. No, I'd arrived in the spiritual home of the famous brandy in southwest France to be immediately wowed by... balsamic vinegar.
On arrival in the sunny Charente I went straight to the beautiful home of Baume de Bouteville, makers of five premium artisanal cognac-barrel-aged balsamics in the pretty village of Bouteville, midway between Cognac and Angoulême.
I enjoyed a fascinating tour of the Compagnie de Bouteville factory, where L'Original, Le Fume, Le Vegetal, No. 6 and No. 10 vinegars are made. We also learned about the manufacturing process and how the barrel ageing takes a minimum of 18 months and up to 10 years for “supreme quality” products.
A post-tour tasting is essential, with the sample vinegars accom panied by oysters, charcuterie and a glass of local wine.
