Hine - Journey, 8 Y

Hine - Journey, 8 Y

Grande Champagne

Originally destined for travel retail, the Hine Journey 8 Y has found its way to us. This Grande Champagne Cognac has aged in cellars at the Hine estate in Jarnac, but Hine is also known for aging their vintage Cognac in cellars in Bristol. This house was founded in 1763 and subsequently came into the hand of Thomas Hine. Currently, Hine is run by the sixth generation and a dedicated team of thirty people.

Ragnaud Sabourin - Reserve Special

Ragnaud Sabourin - Reserve Special

Grande Champagne

Perhaps the best Cognac house; Ragnaud Sabourin, located in the Grande Champagne since 1850. Together with her daughter Patricia, Annie Ragnaud runs this Domaine entirely according to the old family tradition. Without concessions, plenty of time is taken for all steps in the process of making Cognac. The Cognacs released are always of the same year, the age recognizable by the number on the bottle. This Reserve Spécial is 20 years old and has a very rich smell and taste.

Jean Fillioux - La Pouyade

Grande Champagne

Founded by Honoré Fillioux in 1880, in the heart of the Grande Champagne region. The Domaine measures 63 acres and is characterized by its very own style and is very popular with true Cognac lovers. For this Cognac, fourth generation Pascal and fifth generation Christophe are taking a long time to make an assembly of the right barrels, the youngest being 8 years old. The result is a surprisingly rich Grande Champagne Cognac with many aromas from marzipan to vanilla.

Chateau Montifaud - Michel Vallet, 15 Y

Chateau Montifaud - Michel Vallet, 15 Y

Petite Champagne

Michel Vallet is the 5th generation of the owners of Chateau Montifaud. Within the family, the tradition is that each new generation makes its own assembly of the best barrels from their cellars. Searching for balance between fruit and oak, Michel chose barrels of at least 15 years old with solely Petit Champagne Cognac. The Cognac has many fruity tones, but also clear influences of the French Limousin oak. Vanilla, dried plum and herbs are well recognized.

Giboin - XO Royal

Giboin - XO Royal

Borderie

The François Giboin Domaine is located in the Borderie, the smallest Cru of the Cognac area. Started in 1830, one still makes traditional Borderie Cognac here. The clay subsoil makes the Cognacs from this region a bit rustic and sturdier. The XO Royal is an assembly of various ages from the cellars of Giboin. The accent is Cognac from the seventies, mixed with slightly younger Cognacs. The XO has rich floral notes, leather, tobacco, nuts and dried fruit.

Château Montifaud - XO

Château Montifaud - XO

Petite Champagne

Only 13 Cogac houses may bear the name 'Chateau'.

Despite the legal minimum of 6 years, this XO is 30 years old and made from grapes from the Petit Champagne.
