Savanna Unshared Cask for Réunion Island 2026 2016

Everyone who tried this landed in roughly the same place: a traditional Savanna that drinks much sweeter than its "no added sugar" spec suggests. The cognac cask does the heavy lifting on the palate — caramel, oak, cherry, a bit of chocolate — over sugarcane and green herbal notes. At 59% the alcohol sits remarkably well, round and almost syrupy. Built soft for the Réunion home market, and it shows.

Sweet, round cognac-cask Savanna agricole A real crowd favorite at the Savanna tasting — sweet, round, and well-integrated at full proof. The honest note: among heavier bottles that night, a few found it hard to stand out.

I really like this Unshared. On the palate, it develops a nice complexity of spices, vegetal notes, sweetness, nuts, fruit, and leather. The drinking strength is also pleasant and the alcohol is perfectly integrated..Top

Savanna Masterclass: a really pleasant Agricole where the Cognac cask really hits through on the palate, which you barely noticed on the nose. Alongside that, nice floral and woody aromas.

Online Savanna Masterclass as part of WLP 2026 Very nice, rounded Agricole with a Cognac finish that works really well here. Still relatively subtle on the nose, the Cognac comes through nicely on the palate. Warm, rounded, and full without overpowering the basic character of the Savanna too much. It brings nice spice and woody influences and forms a beautiful overall package.
