Bache Gabrielsen VSOP Fine Cognac is made from a blend eaux-de-vie from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the regions of Fins Bois and Petite Champagne. Allowed to mature for around seven years in oak barrels, significantly longer than the established four year rule for a VSOP, this Cognac has developed a clean and smooth taste. The wonderful fruity aromas and freshly pressed grape characteristics are due to its predominantly Fins Bois eaux-de-vie, however the touch of Petite Champagne brings a beautiful elegance to the palate.
