Bache-Gabrielsen Pure & Rustic

Pure & Rustic is the name used for four new cognacs from Bache-Gabrielsen.  Our cellar master Jean-Philippe Bergier has collaborated closely with experienced distillers in order to produce cognacs with a modern style.  They would like to invite you to experience this light, fresh style which consists of a rich fruitiness and has associations with country life in Cognac.


BACHE-GABRIELSEN PURE & RUSTIC PETITE CHAMPAGNE SAINTE LHEURINE COGNAC VIEUX

This brandy from Cognac is made in collaboration with the fourth generation of “Bouilleurs De Cru”, Nöel Gay, in the hamlet of Sainte Lheurine, close to the larger and better-known village of Archiac in Petite Champagne. This is a Single Estate brandy, since the Ugni Blanc grapes from which it originates are only grown in the Gay family vineyards. The wine was primarily distilled in the 1980s. The bottled alcohol content is 54.8% vol.

It matures in cellars in both new and old oak casks from Limousin.
