Fins Bois Cognac
Among the 91 000 hectars of vines in the cognac region, 43% are planted in the Fins Bois appellation. However, finding on the market a cognac with single appellation Fins Bois is not an easy task. Actually, Fins Bois cognacs are mainly used for young blends by most of big Cognac houses. And these young blends, called V.S. are almost 60% of cognac sales in the world. So Fins Bois are everywhere!
Fins Bois are less likely to age for a very long time than cognacs from Champagnes or Borderies areas. They reveal an interesting bouquet, less intense than the other main appellations though. Nevertheless the Fins Bois appellation, which is geographically located around Champagnes and Borderies, is also very heterogen, which gives space for little jewels!
Fins Bois cognacs are often used as foundations for the blends. In other words, if we had to compare cognac blending process to the construction of a house, Fins Bois cognacs would be the big works whereas other appellations would be the finishing, which gives the harmony to the house.

Fins Bois d'Apremont V.S.
Our V.S. from Apremont is a good start for mixology. It’s a well-balanced cognac with fruit-forward aromas combined with a minerality specific to the Apremont hills. Stored in demi-muids, it keeps aging up to bottling, done upon order.
Fins Bois d'Apremont V.S.O.P.
For more roundness, please choose this Fins Bois V.S.O.P. from Apremont. Older than a standard V.S.O.P., it’s vanilla, caramel and santalwood that will go up to your vibrissae and taste buds.
Fins Bois d'Apremont X.O.
Made entirely from Ugni Blanc and distilled without lees, this XO cognac is a refined expression of time and craftsmanship. Aged between 12 and 23 years in seasoned oak casks, it reveals a deep golden amber hue and a generous, well-balanced character. The aroma opens with fresh citrus and candied fruits, followed by notes of ripe apricot, nutmeg, and a delicate touch of smoke. Smooth and rounded on the palate, it unfolds layers of warm minerals, licorice, and gentle spice, leading to a long, elegant finish. A true connoisseur’s cognac — perfect to savor slowly, paired with dark chocolate or a cup of Darjeeling tea.
