Another Historic Cognac Vintage - 1947

We are delighted to announce the addition of yet another Hermitage Ville Ancienne cognac to our range - this particular vintage is proving to be a rarity.

Hermitage 1947 Grande Champagne Cognac has flavours of sweet spices, ripe medlars, muscat grapes, ripe plums and cocoa. It is superbly balanced and has developed a good rancio so we don’t expect it to be available for long!

Seventy years ago, in 1947, when this cognac was distilled, George Marshall outlined the ‘Marshall Plan’ which set out to rebuild Western Europe after the second World War. Later the same year, the future British Queen, Princess Elizabeth II wed Lt Philip Mountbatten in Westminster Abbey, London.

Gold Medal Winners - Hermitage Cognacs

We are delighted to announce that in the 2017 Cognac Masters our two single vintage cognacs both won GOLD Medals.

Hermitage 1967 Petite Champagne Cognac is complex with many charming qualities. Mature yet youthful and light it is a little bit of Hermitage bliss.

Hermitage 1987 Grande Champagne Cognac is also wonderfully complex with flavours of wild fruits and roasted nuts, enhanced by its slightly higher strength of 47%.

These fabulous award-winning cognacs are ideal for 30th or 50th celebrations too.

Customer Reviews

“Thank you so much, this is very kind of you. I will be back and make sure to spread the good word about Brandyclassics.”

“...I shop at brandyclassics.com whose Hermitage 2005 remains a favourite. This website is also your best bet to look for a bottle from a birthday year for a gift (I'm 1974!).”

Olly Smith, TV Presenter and Award Winning Wine Expert

“Many thanks for the bottle, for the marvellous and prompt shipment and delivery. It came yesterday, that is really nearly unbelievable.”

Hermitage Cognac Café 20

The First Ever Modern Britain Café Culture Cognac

Working closely with our customers, we have established that there is a growing café bar culture for cognacs. At Hermitage we are the first cognac house to recognise this need and we have perfected the ideal cognac called Hermitage Cognac Café 20. This rich mocha and roasted walnut flavoured cognac is more than 20 years old and comes from the top cognac cru, Grande Champagne.

During the second half of the 17th century the London “café society” people were experimenting with new drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks like coffee and tea were new but some liked more robust drinks like port, sherry and a spirit from a small town in Western France called Cognac. Today, Hermitage produce a whole range of cognacs with age statements that are aged naturally, with individual flavours, styles, strengths and ages. Cognacs, the likes of which you will never have tasted before.

Four More Gold Medals

Another great year at The Spirits Business Awards for Hermitage Cognacs as all four of our entrants were awarded GOLD medals.

Hermitage Provenance Grande Champagne 6 Year Old, 20 Year Old and 30 Year Old produced specifically for the export market all proved their worth.

In our ever growing premier collection, one of our latest vintage releases, Hermitage Chez Richon 2005 Grande Champagne was the fourth highly successful cognac.

Following on from our Cognac Grand Master Award 2014, this news could hardly have been better.

Hermitage single estate cognacs

Our long relationships with these old cognac professionals has enabled us to identify closely with our customers’ needs.

Vintages and age statements come much easier here and there are a wealth of producers each with fruity and delicious armagnacs.

Our pages are full of the very finest available such as the remarkable 5 year old from Cassagnoles, the wonderful vintages from Chateau de Bordeneuve, Castarede, Darbeau , Montal and our latest range from Clos des Saveurs who, like the famous Delord Armagnacs use the traditional Basquaise green bottle presentations.
