If you speak
to anyone about a distilled spirit from Champagne, they would quite often think
of the marc. But there are some who also distill an eau-de-vie de vin from the
base wines which go to make champagne. I tasted this at Champagne Moutard's
booth at this year's Vinexpo, where I was invited to sample their ratafia (see
earlier blog). After tasting a number of different champagnes, including their
unique six grape sparkler, they showed me this product. It was a more refined
product than their marc, leaning heavily towards a cognac style taste profile,
with more wood notes but just as fiery.
