This Cognac was distilled in Foussignac in '96. The commune of Foussignac is located in the Fins Bois appellation. The 29 hectares of vineyards of this cognac house are located between Foussignac and Triac/Roissac, which is just on the border with the appellation Grande Champagne. The location, and thus the terroir, of these vineyards ensures that these cognacs may be considered very aromatic and among the top of this cru. The vineyards were planted in the 1960s. It was Mrs. Foucher's father who started the cultivation and distillation, Marie took over in 1980. The third selection of Malternative Belgium from Marie's cellars, but this cognac is thus the first distilled by Marie herself! 

We met Marie Foucher in the summer of 2023. With 42° degrees it was one of the hottest days of 2023, you would think that this is not the ideal weather to taste cognac. Nothing was further from the truth! Marie took us on a journey through the history of her cognacs. With plenty of punishing stories and amusing anecdotes, we were able to return home with new experiences fulfilled. Besides cognac, Marie is also passionate about travel & art. Enough to talk about. Her typical Charentaise square house breathes history and craftsmanship and the cognac cellars are proof that time and patience are a virtue.

This single cask is our third selection from Ms. Foucher's cellars. This cask contained a total of 311 bottles and was previously split with a fellow indy bottler.   

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh ginger and exotic spices color the palette, along with a soft funkyness, floral notes and ripe fruits.   
Taste: A firm boy, very present but also fine ripe flavors! Nectarine, jasmine, lemon leaf and turmeric. 
Finish: Sweet pepper and cedar, tobacco and ripe white plums. A long and fresh finish balanced with nutty notes and mint. 

Label explanation: 
The artwork on the label is inspired by the boundless passion for craft. “L'Horizon perdu” (The lost horizon), one of those rare moments when the boundary between heaven and earth blurs, and the vineyards seem to float in a sea of mist. The loss of time. Each visit to Marie Foucher, time stands still for a moment, we enjoy stories and fantastic cognacs that have been overtaken by time.

Roger Caroni, leblogaroger.eu, 26/03/2025:
Nez
Petits beurres écrasés, banane, pomme, poire, vanille, léger caramel … oui, ça sent super bon la panade pour gosse, cette histoire !
Les fruits sont juteux, tropicaux, frais, parfumés et apportent un belle touche de peps à ce beurré d’où se dégagent quelques arômes légèrement toastés. Enfin, quelques légères traces de dattes et autres pruneaux viennent ajouter une nouvelle couche de gourmandise, suivis ensuite par quelques notes de thé noir…
Les presque 60% d’alcool ne sont pas dérangeants, on sent que ça vit, mais rien ne laisse présager d’agressif.
Bouche
En bouche, c’est effectivement plus vif. Par contre, ce n’est pas terrifiant mais cela semble légèrement moins équilibré que ce que l’on peut déguster dans les sélections de Pieter.
Une bouche marquée par le poivré, le massepain cuit, la vanille, quelques fruits du verger, des baies de genièvre, des fins agrumes, le zeste de citron légèrement amer.
Le boisé est légèrement présent avec les feuilles de tabac et une fine réglisse.
Conclusion
Arf, voilà, le moment où je n’allais pas être ultra fan d’une sélection de Pieter est arrivé…. c’est la vie, c’est ainsi, mais perso, je trouve la bouche légèrement déséquilibrée avec un alcool un peu trop invasif et un spiritueux qui aurait mérité une réduction pour l’ouvrir un peu plus selon moi.
Score: 84/100

Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com,30/03/2025:
A bottle to celebrate their 5th Anniversary. Very well done, Malternative Belgium! And I mean it. The alcohol level is surprisingly high for a cognac approaching 30 years old, it’s quite intriguing… Colour: gold. Nose: at this strength you almost land in the world of rum, which is rather amusing. Honestly, you’d almost think of Barbados at FS (85% column still, 15% pot). Granted, apples and peaches come in to adjust those first impressions, though not overwhelmingly so. With water: it’s mad, those impressions linger a little, even if it gradually eases back into the world of dry and elegant brandies. Mouth (neat): again, there’s that rum-like profile, enhanced by lemons and dried raisins. And there’s even a hint of malt whisky, something like a nice Speysider from a refill cask. That said, it’s excellent, even at this strength. With water: ah, now we’re back to proper cognac, with lovely apples, oranges, pears and peaches. Nice aniseed and liquorice touches in the background. Finish: same direction. Touches of pineau, with a woodier aftertaste. Comments: incredible—everyone dreams of pulling off a great cross-category super-blend, and here they’ve done it without even bothering with improbable mix-ups.
SGP:561 – 87 points.

Ruben Luyten, www.whiskynotes.be, 21/02/2025:
Nose: orchard fruits like apples and peaches, with some wildflowers and hints of stem ginger (or ginger cookies). Hints of cardamom and soft mint. Then whiffs of jasmine tea and a light grassy touch.
Mouth: quite bright, with plenty of peppermint along with peaches and nectarines, a little citrus and plenty of white flowers. Some white pepper, lime leaves and light tangy / zesty hints. Stays quite spicy, with some gin-like herbs later on. A drop of pine resin in the end.
Finish: quite long, fresh, with more of these minty herbs, a little liquorice, drying tobacco leaves and cedar wood. A late hint of apple as well.
Not as fruity or rancio-driven than the ones we’re usually getting (Marie Foucher had some lovely old ones too), but a very nice youngster (ahum). Slightly spirity but also showing a great minty freshness and a nice balance. Good value for less than € 100.
Score: 88/100
