Marquis de Maniban
These products are specially designed for connoisseurs who are not trade
customers. The Marquis de Maniban brand includes the best Château du
Busca-Maniban brandies, blends and vintages. All our bottles are delivered
under paperboard cases.
Blanche
The brandy named Blanche is not aged in oak barrels. Its alcohol content is reduced to 44° and it is then decanted into special bottles. Best enjoyed on ice, connoisseurs will appreciate its fruity aromas in combination with smoked fish or a pear sorbet. As it is still a relatively unknown product, the Blanche is easily confused, in a product list, with classic clear spirits. In fact, the Blanche is in a class of its own, and once you've tried it, you will know what we mean!
