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.

The 2011 vintage of this Petite Champagne cognac is the result of an exceptional year in terms of climate: 2011 was the warmest year recorded in France in a century, marked by a particularly mild and dry spring and fall. April and October even broke heat records, with temperatures exceeding seasonal averages by more than 4.2°C. These ideal conditions gave rise to a rare and remarkable cognac.
On the nose, this vintage reveals intense aromas of green almonds, orgeat, and ginger, with great finesse. On the palate, it seduces with a beautiful bitterness of pomelo and bitter orange, offering a delicious and balanced experience. Aged for 11 years in Limousin oak barrels, this cognac combines power and elegance, resulting in a highly complex spirit.
