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.
This new limited edition of Hennessy X.O is the result of an encounter between generative art, innovation and know-how. Each of the 40 numbered decanters features a singular, customizable design, generated by a series of algorithms specially programmed by French artist Florian Zumbrunn.

Marancheville Lot 14-45 is a blend of very old eaux-de-vie from 1914 and 1945 harvests, offering a unique aromatic palette which takes you into an incomparable taste universe. The aromas of precious wood, wax, dried flower petals gently transport us to the last century.
Created by Pierre Frapin 100 years ago, Fontpinot cognac unfailingly delights demanding epicureans. To celebrate the centenary, Maison Frapin is releasing a limited-edition anniversary packaging. Inspired by the original, the label brings up to date the symbols of ownership and the colors popular at the time of the Roaring Twenties. The bottle is presented in a raw wood box...
The Cigar Blend XO is distilled on lees and aged in humid cellars to give it roundness and suppleness. It pays homage to the subtle notes of “Rancio” unique to our old Cognacs. As its name suggests, it promises memorable tasting moments when paired with cigars of Latin origin.
Prunier 30 Years Old is a pure Grande Champagne from the hills around St Preuil, aged from distillation in old barrels in an extremely damp cellar, resulting in an unusually pale colour for a 30 year old. A wonderfully natural cognac, with minimal wood.
Last vintage of the 20th century ! 1999 was a tough year for Mother Nature, the Erika tanker was wrecked off the coast of Brittany and Storm Lothar raged in Western Europe. Cognac production was lucky enough to resist this tempest, although the bad weather conditions made it one of the smallest productions of the century, and therefore one of the rarest.
Maison Prunier offers these old vintage Cognacs "brut de fûts", produced in just a few hundred bottles per vintage. This edition comes from the 1996 harvest from the Fins Bois terroir and bottled with its natural alcohol degree. Supplied in a wooden box.
Distilled in the 1970s by Pierre, this cognac represents “rancio” at its peak. Nose where plum and apricot, candied, brioche and cigar box mingle. Ample and shimmering on the palate, very smooth aromatic complexity. A voluptuous experience full of sensuality. Exceptionally long finish.
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...
