The Hermitage Paradis 1889 Cognac comes from the south east part of the region, now known as Grande Champagne, around the charming little village of Bouteville.  It was made on a small wood fired still and is a glorious example of some of the finest Premier Cru craftmanship of the era, when the understanding of cognac production methods was at its best.  It has been aged for more than 70 years in oak casks which has optimized its key qualities of balance and rancio.

Did you know?  In 1889, the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) opened in Paris with the recently completed Eiffel Tower serving as the entrance arch.  At 300m high it retained the record for the tallest man-made structure for 41 years.

Ageing:
Aged for more than 70 years in oak casks which has optimized its key qualities of balance and rancio.
Distillation:
This was made on a small wood fired still and is a glorious example of some of the finest Premier Cru craftmanship of the era, when the understanding of cognac production methods was at its best.
Flavour:
An even distribution of flavours including cocoa, walnut kernels and coffee with a final and delicious long rancio, the much favoured richness, so highly desirable in these fine old cognacs.
Grape Variety:
Following the Phylloxera outbreak, the bigger and more wealthy vineyards bought up new root stock and replanted with the new and better Ugni Blanc vines.
Reduction & Strength:
This cognac is completely natural, there has been no reduction.
Viticulture:
Although there are several relatively flat areas in Grande Champagne most of the cru is covered with rolling hills probably not exceeding 150 metres. The soil comprises Cognacian and Santonian chalk, ideal for the vine roots which can penetrate as much as 30 metres into the underground streams which run through the fissures in the chalk.
