The house of Cognac Bache-Gabrielsen dates back to 1905. It was founded by Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen, a young Norwegian born in Holmestrand in 1883 to parents Kamilla Bache and Alexander Gabrielsen, merchants specializing in the sale of spirits.
Getting out of military school at the age of 20, Thomas is sent by his father to Cognac to develop the family business. The young adventurer quickly fell in love, with Cognac of course, but also with Odette Villard, a young Charentais woman who was the daughter of winegrowers; he then decided to settle in the region. The experience that was supposed to last a few months ended up lasting a lifetime.
Thomas and his Norwegian friend Peter Anton Rustad then jointly bought the Maison de Cognac A. Edmond Dupuy and renamed it Bache-Gabrielsen. Soon, thanks to their Scandinavian connections, their Cognac export business was doing well with Norway (the brand is now the leader in this market) and Denmark, then in continuity with the United States.
Through a long family history, successive generations would adapt, modernize and perpetuate the foundations of this House.

Having spent 30 years in Limousin oak barrels, this Cognac is the fruit of a partnership with Mr. Francis Garraud, a loyal supplier of Maison Bache-Gabrielsen. His Domaine located in Chérac is part of the geographical area of the prestigious Borderies cru.
The grapes that gave birth to this eau-de-vie came from the 1990 harvest, one of the most exceptional of the late 20th century, with perfect weather conditions: warm, sunny days, cool nights.bottled at 55° without filtration, this Cognac Millésimé has a beautiful amber-gold color. It offers a delicate floral bouquet of rose and violet, typical of Borderies. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, with a light, gourmand note of flambéed banana. The finish lingers on elegant roasted notes reminiscent of coffee and roasted hazelnut, as well as walnut.
On this Extraordinary 30-year-old, concentrated and slightly rustic Cognac, we'll bring out the fruit (orange peel) even more by lengthening it with a few drops of water. Sublime!
