| | Product: | Hermitage 50 y.o. La Tonnelle | | Cru: | Grande Champagne | | Price: | £315.70 (£370.95 incl. VAT) | | Code: | H.H11.A.A0050.1.6b | | | | | Description: | | Made in St Même-les-Carrières by an old family firm, this cognac is regarded by many as at its peak of perfection.

| | Product: | Hermitage 1962 La Tonnelle | | Cru: | Grande Champagne | | Price: | £214.50 (£252.04 incl. VAT) | | Code: | H.H11.A.V1962.1.6b | | | | | Description: | | The relationship between a cognac’s strength and its flavour can in some cases be enhanced by reducing the strength to enhance the flavour. This is a good example where the mocha and chocolate flavours have developed well in a cognac with a slightly lower cask strength. |

| | Product: | Hermitage 1960 La Tonnelle | | Cru: | Grande Champagne | | Price: | £254.10 (£298.57 incl. VAT) | | Code: | H.H11.A.V1960.1.6b | | | | | Description: | | A younger and stronger version of the 1947 from the same distiller. This has some of the more fiery qualities expected from its long introduction to new oak which is enhanced by its stronger qualities. Only small quantities of this cognac are available with its unique qualities of roasted walnut, burnt toast and coffee, a credit to its master distiller and cellar master. |

| | Product: | Hermitage 1947 La Tonnelle | | Cru: | Grande Champagne | | Price: | £355.30 (£417.48 incl. VAT) | | Code: | H.H11.A.V1947.1.6b | | | | | Description: | | This is made on a 50 hectare estate owned by a Cognac family since 1850. The Ugni Blanc vines are grown on chalk slopes where their roots extend more than 25 metres into the ground to reach the water. The wines are distilled with exceptional skill and the newly distilled spirit is kept in new oak barrels for nearly two years before long ageing in old Limoursin barrels. This has produced an intense richness reminiscent of coffee, mocha and roasted walnuts. |
