Once the grapes are harvested in late September or early October, they are immediately pressed into a grape \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e. The must enjoys a high acidity and is lacking in tannins, making it ideal for fermentation and distillation. After Fillioux has fermented the must into a wine, he distills the wine twice through a traditional, antique charentais-pot still.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFollowing distillation, the cognac is aged for a minimum of 25 years in a combination of new and used oak casks. The secret to producing exquisite cognac, Fillioux says, is the having the requisite patience to watch and taste the cognac as it matures. During the maturation process, Pascal tastes each barrel, noting its aroma and flavor profile. As the cognac continues to age, he transfers it as necessary to different barrels and stores the barrels in different areas of his vault in order to ensure that after a quarter-century, the cognac is blessed with a consistent, rounded flavor profile.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nJean Fillioux Tres Vieux has an aroma of vanilla and orange marmalade, which leads to strong notes of jam, quince, pear and creamy vanilla. The finish, which is textured and everlasting, ends with a touch of oak and spices. Jean Fillioux Tres Vieux was the highest-rated cognac in the June 2013 issue of the \u003cem\u003eSpirit Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, which called it \"incredibly lush and velvety.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up a bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Jean Fillioux\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            In 1880, Honoré Fillioux purchased a tiny, 20-hectare estate in the Grande Champagne region. Upon his death in 1902, Honoré Fillioux passed the estate on to his son, Jean, who eventually passed it along to his son. Today, Pascal Fillioux, the great grandson of Honoré Fillioux, continues to pay homage to his pioneering ancestors by managing every aspect of cognac production at Maison Fillioux.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSituated along the banks of the Charente River, the Cognac region of France is divided into six different \u003cem\u003ecrus\u003c\/em\u003e: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaire. The Grande Champagne cru, which comprises approximately 34,000 hectares, is known for its quiet hills and rich, chalky soil, and is considered to produce the finest cognac in the region.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3425\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Jean Fillioux bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Cognac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCognac is a type of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/brandy\/\"\u003ebrandy\u003c\/a\u003e produced in the Cognac region of France.\u003cbr\u003eBecause the French take it very seriously, there are numerous rules cognac makers have to follow not to fall “short” into the brandy category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white wine from the specific grapes (Ugni blanc) has to be doubly distilled in a copper pot still before being aged for at least two years in oak casks from which the wood can only come from two specific forests in France (Limousin or Tronçais).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the age, there are three types of cognac, the youngest V.S.
