The year 2001 marked the beginning of the new millennium by starting on a Monday, as the beginning of a new era. In the vineyards, this new millennium has delivered an excellent first vintage. The winter was cold and rainy and the summer scorching with cold temperatures at night. These climatological conditions allowed optimal ripening of the grapes, which developed rich and complex aromas and retained their acidity.
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.

Godet Renaissance is an exceptional blend of 15 of Maison Godet's oldest eaux-de-vie, a Paradis cognac aged between 70 and 170 years. This cognac bears the name "Renaissance" because these eaux-de-vie were miraculously preserved during the war, thanks to an underground cellar walled off during the Occupation.
