2002 marked a turning point in European history as the single currency was adopted and as the British Monarchy lost the Queen Mother (Elizabeth). In Cognac, Bache Gabrielsen Cellar Master selected two lots of the 2002 vintage from two distinct areas of Grande Champagne, which expressed great complementarity when blended together.
The House of Bache-Gabrielsen is a renowned cognac distillery located in the Cognac region of France. Founded in 1905, it is known for producing high-quality cognacs that blend tradition with innovation. The house was established in 1905 by Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen, a Norwegian who moved to Cognac to start a cognac production business. His vision was to create refined cognacs that respected traditional methods while incorporating a touch of innovation. Since its inception, the house has been managed by several generations of the Bache-Gabrielsen family, who have preserved the legacy and reputation of the house while making improvements and evolutions over time. Bache-Gabrielsen cognacs are crafted primarily from grapes sourced from the Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Borderies crus, offering remarkable complexity and depth. Distillation is carried out in traditional Charentais stills, and the eaux-de-vie are aged in oak casks, allowing for the development of rich and nuanced flavors. The house also employs innovative aging techniques and carefully crafted blends to offer cognacs with varied and sophisticated flavor profiles.
Monnet XXO offers an unprecedented journey through the exceptional nuances of Cognac. Produced in very small quantities, this rare XXO is the very embodiment of Monnet's know-how, with perfect roundness combined with dazzling delicacy.
Hennessy Coupe des Salariés is a unique blend created in 2015 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Hennessy. This rare edition was never release on the market by Hennessy because it was only offered to employees of the House.
De Luze XO Fine Champagne Cognac is a blend of several eaux-de-vie selected and aged over the years by the Cellar Master to express the terroir of the Maison Boinaud vineyard. All the eaux-de-vie have reached a stage of maturity which gives a wonderful roundness and softness to this XO with long, exceptional and intense flavors.
Jean Fillioux Réserve Familiale Cognac is the quintessence of the House. A selection of the oldest and best eaux-de-vie from the Domaine has been made to offer a Cognac of incomparable elegance and complexity.

In 1973, the Watergate scandal was in full swing in the United States, the first oil crisis hit the world and the heatwave raged in the cognac vineyards in mid-August. Imperturbable, this vintage will have kept all of its promises after spending 37 years in casks. In 2011, Bache Gabrielsen cellar master decided to transfer it to one of the demi-johns living in the...
Old gold color, almost amber. The nose is marked by gourmet notes of ripe plums, plums, spices (cardamom, turmeric, black pepper) and exotic woods (warm cedar, sandalwood). Around all this, we find the characteristic rancio of old Cognacs close to maturity. On the palate, again this fruity (ripe plum, prune, chocolate with cinnamon) and spicy (nutmeg, tobacco) delicacy.
1988 happened to be a leap year starting on a Friday. The month of August that year had been extremely painful for the cognac vineyards, as well as for modern art enthusiasts and car addicts.
