  Gourry de Chadeville Memoire 1'er Cru de Cognac 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865491-504

  Some Cognacs are made to be sold. Memoire is made to be remembered, a gathering of the oldest eaux-de-vie in Gourry de Chadeville's cellars, brought together under a name that points directly back to four hundred years of memory.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville Memoire 1er Cru French Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, at least 25 years old, bottled at 40%.

  Gourry de Chadeville is the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619, and the family's exceptional landholdings in Grande Champagne give it a base for producing the very best the appellation can offer. Production is strictly limited, and constant demand from French connoisseurs minimises the quantity that can be spared for export.

  Memoire shows a concentrated style with dark nuances, the result of decades of ageing in Limousin oak on the estate itself, far removed from the standardised Cognac found in airports around the world.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark nuances of shellac and rancio, with a hint of plum.

  Palate

  Deep and concentrated, with almond, mocha and a light bittersweet note.

  Finish

  Very long, dark and complex, with a last trace of spiced oak.

  Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Blanc Cognac 75 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0131

  Not all the grape juice from Gourry's land in Grande Champagne ends up as Cognac. Some of it is stopped along the way, fortified with the house's own spirit, and turned into something paler and lighter, a golden Pineau des Charentes with citrus and white flowers in the glass.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Blanc is a French Pineau des Charentes made from fresh grape juice and Cognac from Gourry de Chadeville, bottled at 17%.

  At Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619 and still family-owned through fifteen generations, the house's own Cognac is used to stop the fermentation of fresh grape must. The Blanc bottling keeps a pale, golden colour and a light, fresh character clearly distinct from its rosé sibling.

  The result is an aperitif with notes of white flowers, citrus and a hint of honey, made to accompany shellfish and light starters just as naturally as it can be enjoyed on its own.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  White flowers and citrus peel, with a light honeyed sweetness.

  Palate

  Fresh and light, with notes of pear, citrus and a touch of almond.

  Finish

  Short and refreshing, with a delicate finish of flower honey.

  Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Rose Cognac 75 cl 17%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0130

  Before a grape becomes Cognac, it can also become something else entirely. In Segonzac, on the same land the Gourry family has farmed since 1619, fermentation of fresh grape must is halted with a splash of the house's own Cognac, and the result is a sweet, rosé-coloured aperitif.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville Pineau des Charentes Rosé is a French Pineau des Charentes made from fresh grape juice and Cognac from Gourry de Chadeville, bottled at 17%.

  Pineau des Charentes is a vin de liqueur, where fermentation of fresh grape must is stopped by adding Cognac, preserving the grape's natural sweetness while the spirit contributes strength and character. Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619 in Grande Champagne, uses its own Cognac for the purpose, giving the rosé a depth not found in every Pineau des Charentes.

  The colour is a deep rosé, and the flavour carries red berries, honey and a hint of nuts, a combination that makes it just as fitting as an aperitif as it is alongside dessert.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe red berries and honey, with a light nutty undertone.

  Palate

  Sweet and fruity, with raspberry and blackcurrant, balanced by a light acidity.

  Finish

  Soft and rounded, with a finish of honey and lightly toasted nuts.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know that Pineau des Charentes is made by stopping the fermentation of grape must with Cognac, a technique local tradition says began by accident, when a sixteenth-century winegrower mistakenly poured grape juice into a cask that already held Cognac.

  Gourry de Chadeville Tres Vieux 400 anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865491-401

  Twenty-five years is a long time to wait for a bottle. At Gourry de Chadeville, that is the time Tres Vieux is given, layer upon layer of soft nuance that only appears when the cellar master dares let the Cognac rest long enough.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville Tres Vieux 400th Anniversary is a 1er Cru French Cognac from Grande Champagne, 25 years old, bottled at 40%.

  Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house founded in 1619, often regards Tres Vieux as its flagship, a designation traditionally used for Cognac aged well beyond XO level. The grapes, Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc, come from the house's own plots in Grande Champagne, and the entire process, from distillation to maturation, takes place on the estate.

  Twenty-five years in Limousin oak casks give a Cognac of great depth, where rancio, dried fruit and a light smoky character show what time alone can add.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Rancio, cocoa and a hint of tobacco, with a touch of apricot.

  Palate

  Deep and layered, with notes of dark caramel, bitter orange and dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Very long, with a warm finish of spiced oak and caramel.

  Gourry de Chadeville V.S. 1er Cru de Cognac 35 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865491-1001

  Some houses fill their VS with the youngest Cognac they can find. Gourry de Chadeville does the opposite, letting even its youngest bottling bear witness to what four hundred years on the same land in Grande Champagne can give.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville V.S. 1er Cru French Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 40%.

  Gourry de Chadeville is the world's oldest Cognac house, founded in 1619, and the family has distilled on the same land in Segonzac for fifteen generations. All the house's plots lie within Grande Champagne, the appellation's most celebrated cru, and even the VS draws on the same quality as the far older bottlings in the range.

  The result is a VS that is unusually soft and full for its age, with a complexity that surprises most people who associate the VS classification with raw, young Cognac.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Aromas of honey, cedar and fresh hazelnut.

  Palate

  Soft, generously full-bodied, with notes of light fruit and a touch of vanilla.

  Finish

  Medium in length and round, without any rough edges.

  Gourry de Chadeville V.S.O.P. 1er Cru de Cognac 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865491-500

  Eight to ten years in cask, not a day more or less than the cellar master judges right. Gourry de Chadeville's VSOP is the house's midpoint, where young freshness begins giving way to something deeper.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville V.S.O.P. 1er Cru French Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, aged 8-10 years, bottled at 40%.

  Gourry de Chadeville, the world's oldest Cognac house founded in 1619, owns all its plots in Grande Champagne and distils and matures all its Cognac on the estate, exclusively in Limousin oak casks. The VSOP brings together eaux-de-vie given 8 to 10 years to come together, longer than the legal minimum of four and a half years.

  The result is a soft, rounded and remarkably nuanced Cognac, showing the house style in its most accessible yet still complex form.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Aromas of plum, brown sugar and date, with a hint of Ceylon cinnamon.

  Palate

  Round and nuanced, with green walnut, apricot and a warm spice note.

  Finish

  Long and soft, with a last trace of brown sugar and spiced oak.

  Gourry de Chadeville V.S.O.P. 400 anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac 35 cl 40%

  Item no.: 059763-615-1060

  In Segonzac, at the heart of Grande Champagne, the Gourry de Chadeville family has distilled cognac on the same land since 1619. Fifteen generations have passed, the old copper still is unchanged, and the distillation still follows the same rhythm it did four centuries ago.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville VSOP 400 Anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, bottled at 40%.

  This edition marks the house's 400th anniversary and is made entirely from grapes grown on the estate's own Premier Cru terroir — a rarity in the cognac world, where most houses buy in grapes or distillate from multiple growers. Gourry de Chadeville is considered one of the oldest still-active cognac houses, with the family running the estate in Segonzac across 15 unbroken generations.

  Distillation follows the traditional Charente method in two stages: first comes the "brouillis," an initial distillate at 28-32% alcohol. That is distilled a second time in a process called "la bonne chauffe," where the head and tail are cut away and only the heart — "le cœur" — is kept for further ageing in oak.

  Once matured, the cognac is bottled at 40%, ready to be enjoyed as a classic VSOP with roots stretching back to the 1600s.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and dried roses arrive first, followed by a sweetness reminiscent of apricot jam.

  Palate

  Round and soft, with walnut and a warm spiced note of cinnamon that drifts into a touch of liquorice.

  Finish

  Long and mellow, where the spice lingers longest and leaves a dry, nutty close.

  Gourry de Chadeville X.O. 400 anniversaire 1er Cru de Cognac 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865491-505

  The colour alone tells the story: nearly black, with an iridescent sheen that only appears after decades in dark cellars. Gourry de Chadeville's XO 400th Anniversary is extreme Cognac without additives, pure distillate and time.

  Expert's Description

  Gourry de Chadeville X.O. 400th Anniversary 1er Cru French Cognac is a Cognac from Grande Champagne, up to 35 years old, bottled at 40%.

  The near-black, iridescent colour leaves no doubt about its age, and the style is uncannily concentrated, with dark nuances of plum, almond and mocha.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  A deep, dark aroma of plum, almond and mocha, with a hint of rancio.

  Palate

  Intense and concentrated, with dark chocolate, dried fruit and spiced oak.
