Cognac Masters 2012 – Master Award

This exceptionally rare and sought after cognac was found in an old cellar to the north of Cognac. We were lucky in obtaining a complete bonbonne for bottling. Just don’t hang about, this is not going to last.

“My most prized bottle is a 1914 Cognac Hermitage Borderies which has an incredible spectrum of flavours, from toffee to walnuts.” Olly Smith, Journalist & TV Presenter

Additional Information

Aroma:
There is an aroma of rich pineapple syrup and Turkish coffee with nutmeg
Ageing:
This cognac has aged for a very long time in old cellars. The barrels were Limousin oak and the cellar conditions were damp
Distillation:
Traditional Charentais stills. Probably about 15 hltr. The balance and style suggests that the still head was relatively narrow
Flavour:
Burnt sugar and toffee with a hint of chocolate and brazil nuts. This has all the true characteristics of a true Borderies cognac and shows an intense Rancio. The balance is extraordinarily fine and leaves a highly rich and flavoursome cognac
Grape Variety:
Ugni Blanc
Reduction & Strength:
No reduction in the producers cellar but we have reduced it 1.5% to improve the balance and enhance the flavour
Viticulture:
The soil in this region has a greater clay content than the very chalky Grande Champagne region but the land is protected and does not suffer from such severe frosts
