Bache Gabrielsen Pure & Rustic Sainte Lheurine Cognac

Bache Gabrielsen Pure & Rustic Sainte Lheurine Cognac

This rare single estate Petite Champagne Cognac is made in collaboration with 4th generation winemaker and "Bouilleur De Cru", Nöel Gay on his 15 hectare property near the village of Sainte Lheurine. Produced exclusively with ugni blanc; the grapes that are the raw material that come from the family-run vine-yards. Once selected, the eaux-de-vie is then distilled and left to mature in small Limousin oak barrels until ready to be bottled. 1000 numbered decanters were bottled in July 2014 at an alcoholic strength of 53% vol.

This Cognac is part of the “Pure & Rustic” collection of Cognacs from Bache-Gabrielsen. Cellar-master Jean-Philippe Bergier has, in close collaboration with experienced distillers, made Cognacs with a modern style, which invites tasters to discover the light and refreshing style of the range with rich fruitiness. This collection offers a true taste of the rural life in Cognac.

How to enjoy

Typically, Cognacs like this VSOP work wonderfully as a Cocktail base. So why not get your creative juices flowing and create your own Cognac cocktail. Try replacing other main components, such as rum or whiskey in your favourite cocktails with this VSOP to suit your personal taste. We recommend a Bache Gabrielsen cocktail creation “Spring Fever”:

Ingredients:

• 4 cl Bache Gabrielsen Pure & Rustic Sainte Lheurine Cognac
• 2 cl maple syrup
• Ginger beer (light)

Make the drink in a highball glass with ice cubes. Garnish with a long slice of lemon peel. A refreshing and seductive cocktail, not just to be enjoyed in spring time but whenever a refreshing “pick me up” is both desired and required.
