About Hermitage Reaux
Produced from the highest yielding region of Petite Champagne between Pons and Réaux, an area that manages to produce particularly good cognacs. The family estate is a medium sized firm around the commune of Réaux. The land here has gentle chalk hills, ideal for grape production. Ugni Blanc grapes are produced and wine yields are normally quite high enabling the maximum wine production allowed under BNIC regulations. Distillation is in 25 hltr stills.

Cognac Masters 2010 - Gold Award
This vintage cognac is one of life's little finds. A beautifully smooth cognac that oozes toffee and chocolate flavours, all wrapped up with a hint of roasted walnuts. This is a cognac that will be impossible to put down and the only problem is making the bottle last.
