Christmas Hermitage Reviews
Some wonderful Hermitage Reviews this Christmas:
The new edition of Club Oenologique has just been published, with a fabulous review and picture of the Hermitage 1972 Cognac by Joel Harrison.
“Curator of some of the oldest single vintage and single vineyard Cognacs around, Hermitage is run from a small village in Wiltshire. Cognac expert David Baker has built unrivalled relationships with some of the more boutique distillers in the region, allowing him to bottle extremely old and rare cognacs. This 1972 vintage is drawn from grapes grown in the Petite Champagne region and has a sensationally aromatic nose, with balanced sweetness and acidity. The cigar-hungry finish gives integrated wood and a spicy concentration as well as mildly drying tannins.”
Olly Smith, well known TV personality, has also been posting about our Hermitage 40 Year Old Grande Champagne Cognac. Aged with great care and expertise, this wonderful Grande Champagne cognac has been in an oak barrel for 40 years slowly maturing to its optimum condition. Flavours of plum and vanilla expand into lychee, pear, hay, plum and dried mandarin demonstrating complexity and individuality. Winner of The Cognac Masters 2020, Masters Award.
