This single estate cognac comes from the vines of the late Mr. Garraud in Chérac-Borderies and was aged for 30 years in his personal cellar. Mr. Garraud was a friend of the house, a passionate winemaker and cognac expert with whom we worked for decades. The winter of 1993 was marked by bitterly cold, dry weather, followed by a mild, rainy spring. This particular climate forced the vines to grow and produce their best grapes.
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 Cognac comes from a property in Bonneuil, one of the best terroirs in Grande Champagne. The 3 barrels that Grosperrin bought in 2012 from this family come from the joint ownership of André Noblet, who had made 3 different blends with his own father's eaux-de-vie. This is one of them.

Hardy Pritemps is placed at the center of a precious round case, combining white and pastel leather with an ingenious opening system at the front.

L'Exemplaire N°5 is a blend of cognacs distilled on lees in the early 1980s from the 2 founders family properties. It is a beautiful cognac whose singularity is typical of "Grande Champagne" and its limestone terroirs : powerful and fruity!
