Bache Gabrielsen Hors d’Age Grande Champagne

This Cognac is a pure Grande Champagne, seen as the best cru in the Cognac area. The oldest elements in this Cognac-blend are from around 1917, the youngest are from the 1960s. Made mainly from the traditional Ugni Blanc grape and about 10% Folle Blanche.

Tasting notes:

Dark golden colour. A rich, generous bouquet. Excellent balance between fruit, flowers and spice notes from the wood. Powerful attack, almost oily in consistency, a distinctive and unmistakable stamp of Grande Champagne with the famous long finish. It takes more than 50 years, but it is worth waiting for.
