Description
Hermitage 1945 Grande Champagne Cognac
The Hermitage 1945 Grande Champagne Cognac is a rare gem from the heart of Grande Champagne, known as the premier cru of Cognac. This exceptional spirit has been aged in oak barrels for more than 50 years, allowing it to develop a complex, well-rounded character. Bottled at 42% ABV, it received a Gold Award at the IWSC 2019, praised for its elegance and finesse—qualities that define the very best in old Cognacs.
This 1945 vintage offers a refined aromatic profile, beginning with delicate hints of pork crackle and developing into complex notes of cumin, green walnuts, and fennel. On the palate, the Hermitage 1945 delights with a harmonious balance of lychee, passion fruit, rosemary, and cocoa, finishing with a distinctive grapefruit tail that leaves a lasting impression. The gentle, chalky soils of Grande Champagne contribute to the rich minerality and depth that make this Cognac truly unique.
