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.
Audry XO is a blend of equal parts of Grandes and Petites Champagnes, also called Fine Champagne. First scents of black pepper, vanilla then floral and spicy touches. Old leather and hint of citrus. The nose is hazelnut, toast, anise, white flowers then mint. Silky and voluptuous entry in the mouth, bittersweet, nuances of dark caramel and almond. Very well blended blend....
Frapin VSOP is produced only from the Frapin vineyard located in Grande Champagne, in the heart of the 1er Cru of Cognac. Its orange color reflects the aging of several years in Limousin-type oak barrels.
Braastad x A-MO is a limited edition of 3600 bottles mixing Cognac and Urban Art. An exceptional blend of eaux-de-vie from 25 to 90 years old, this Cognac pays homage to the Scandinavian origins of the House with its commitment to the protection of the Snow Owl. Part of the profits are donated to the HISA association which works for their protection.
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.
The Collection of Vintage Cognacs from Maison Godet is one of the largest in the region, ranging from 1814 to present day. Godet Millesime 1993 Fins Bois is a Cognac from a single year and a single cru to reveal all its characteristics.
A.E. Dor Fins Bois 1979 is a vintage Cognac from the terroirs of Fins Bois, renowned for their great finesse after decades of aging.
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...
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. Because both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Enzo Ferrari died that month and because it only rained 7.8mm in the Cognac region. Tough but promising conditions for a vintage quality, as the...
