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.

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.
