Sève Feu de Joie has been produced since 1847 by Léopold Brugerolles in Matha, a small market town in the Cognac region of western France. Considering the area in which it is produced it is probably not surprising that cognac is a key ingredient; 20% - with half of that XO quality.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/02/2010

Appearance:

Clear, reddy-brown.

Taste:

Somewhat reminiscent of a fruity amaretto, with morello cherry, ripe plum, vanilla, soft spice, almond and just enough spirit bite.

Aftertaste:

Sweet and sour with notes of unripe jammy fruit. While sweet, it is light, well balanced and far from cloying.
