Cognac Hermitage 10-year-old Grande Champagne / 40% / 0.7l
- Hermitage Cognacs is a range of the most unique and sophisticated cognacs sourced from the cellars of small producers and family-owned factories in the Cognac region.
Product description
The main goal of Hermitage Cognac is to search for unique, individual cognacs from niche producers, unknown to a wider group of recipients, but creating exceptional things that can delight more than one enthusiast. Hermitage Cognac offers only the best available cognacs, which thanks to a few families devoted to the art for many years can now enjoy us. We do not offer commercial and repeatable products, only sublime, extremely rare experiences that have waited for years in barrels to see the light of day. Each cognac is carefully selected to ensure only the best in Premier Cru cognacs.
A Word on History - Founder David Baker was introduced to the art of wine tasting over 60 years ago. Meticulously noting and describing the flavours of each wine, he began to seek out wines with more complex flavours and aromas. This is how his passion for cognac emerged, which, thanks to his almost photographic memory for flavours and style, he was able to transform into Hermitage Cognac. Working with the best cognac houses, he is able to find wines that are not only of exceptional quality and style, but also those whose history can be defined by age and vintage, giving us a brief suspension of time in which we can experience the true greatness of Hermitage Cognac.
Cognac Hermitage 10-year-old Grande Champagne / 40% / 0.7l
This cognac is a perfect expression of the Hermitage Cognac philosophy. The distillate from Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grapes is first aged for 6 to 8 months in new 350-litre Limousine oak barrels, then it is placed in used barrels, where it spends the next months and years. The whole is aged in medium-humidity cellars. On the nose, while maintaining its seriousness, it captivates us with chocolate with walnuts and vanilla, with a shyly accentuated tangerine peel. On the palate, the initial mocha flavour smoothly changes into toffee, hazelnut and here too you can feel the notes of tangerines.
It is worth adding that in the case of 10-year-old cognacs, it is not often that the product has a lot of class and dignity, and at the same time is still fresh to the palate. Hermitage Cognac has achieved this.
