Description
Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Pere Fût 104 Cognac
This Grande Champagne Cognac was distilled in the 1970s by Guy Laurichesse, father of Olivier, who founded the Laurichesse Cognac brand with his wife Léa in 2018. The current range of Laurichesse Cognac seeks to highlight eaux-de-vie distilled by Olivier’s father Guy in the 1970s. Distilled in a 12hl still on the family property of Verrières, Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Pere Fût 104 Cognac was matured in a French oak cask and has been bottled at a cask strength of 47.4% ABV with any color or additives. Only 392 bottles have been produced, making this an extremely rare Cognac to own.
Bottled as ‘Hommage’, this range is also known as Le Chai de mon Père (‘The Cellar of My Father’). Each barrel of vintage eaux-de-vie has been carefully selected and bottled in its natural condition in order to highlight the skills and quality of Guy's work. It certainly gives a fantastic insight into the individual character of small-scale Cognac production.
Presentation of the Bottle
Tall and elegant with a slim profile and deep punt, this is a well-designed bottle that immediately catches the eye. The label is simple, printed on textured paper with hand-written details, including the cask and bottle number. For sales purposes in different countries, the bottles have been renamed Le Chai de Mon Pere, this has been reflected on the bottles themselves through the addition of a sticker on the label..
How to Enjoy Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Pere Fût 104 Cognac
This rare Premier Cru expression is best enjoyed neat at room temperature. Pour into a tulip glass and allow the Cognac to rest for a moment before taking a sip; this will allow the most complex aromas to develop for a fuller tasting experience. For an added element of luxury, enjoy alongside dried fruits and mature cheeses after a rich dinner - or even with a cigar.

Wood shavings and oranges
One of those noses that I could spend hours on without ever putting glass to lips. Full of charm and subtlety. It makes me imagine standing in a carpenter’s workshop with the scent of an orange grove coming through the doors on a hot day. But there must be coffee brewing and some kind of vanilla...
A different but lovely Grande Champagne
Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Père Fût 104 is 100% Grande Champagne, over 40YR old, has no color or additivies added, was distilled on the lees, and yielded just 392 bottles. Different woods greets the nose initially, along with subtle nuts and fruit. A most different Grande Champagne, but certainly...
Bombastic Cognac.
Delicious Lucious Dense Nose!!! Wonderful rancio, nuts, wood, some tobacco, some orange, sweetness. Nose is consistent with the mouth with very fine oranges and spicy notes that make the mouth dry but longing for more. This is one of the best cognacs I have tasted so far. Also, I get a hint of old...
Tough and tasteful
This is a bottle I have had on the shelf for some time. It is a Grande Champagne around 45 years old bottled at 47.4% This cognac has a dark golden color and need some time in the glass to release all aromas. I find darker notes from raisins, dried fruit, leather and wood, but also from orange. It...
Another great Laurichesse: Chai de Mont Père Fût 104
Dark golden colour with nuances of copper. The nose is complex, the first impression is of wood and warm earth, later opening on oranges, dried fruits., leather and fine wood. On the palate soft and elegant with a lot of spices, wood and also dried exotic fruits, tasty oranges and orange peels. The...
Tasting Laurichesse 104
Wow, this has a sweeter almost more sour nose than the 301. I think I do prefer the nose of the 301, BUT I really prefer the mouth of the 104 over the 301. A little sharper in the mouth, great character. You can sense the 47%+ vol alcohol. Love it.
Laurichesse Le Chai de Mon Pere Fut 104
Nose: A much different personality here. It smells more mature, better behaved, less extroverted yet still very sure of itself, confident. The oranges of Le Chai de Mon Pere Fut 301 have departed and been replaced by sweet earthy tobacco, vanilla, and a general feeling of woodsy earthiness. It smells...
