LES EXCLUSIVES OF JULES GAUTRET // COGNAC ET PINEAU

BRAND CREATION AND LAUNCH

Jules Gautret created his cognac house in 1847 at the age of 21, barely of age. He thus became one of the youngest cellar masters in the region. This precocity illustrates a very strong personality, characterized by audacity, discovery and a spirit of adventure. Initially alone and without employees, he had to learn all the facets of the business to meet the demands of his customers. Les Exclusifs de Jules Gautret take up the philosophy of their founder: they illustrate the audacity and mastery that Jules Gautret showed in the beginning of this beautiful adventure and throughout his life, his thirst for discovery, his spirit of adventure. The Les Exclusifs de Jules Gautret range is composed of 3 cognacs (VS, VSOP and XO) as well as 3 pineaux (white, rosé and very old)..

MAISON BACHE GABRIELSEN // VSOP TRIPLE CASK

REPOSITIONNING AND LAUNCH

After successfully repackaging its iconic Très Kors, the House of Bache-Gabrielsen decided to tackle its no less famous VSOP. With the help of L'Assemblage, the concept was first considered before reworking the content and the container. The result is this superb VSOP Triple Cask, the particularity of which is to offer a third passage in French oak barrels once the blending is complete. This additional process gives the VSOP a unique roundness and delicacy.

MAISON BACHE GABRIELSEN // DISTILLATIONS

NEW RANGE

DistillationS by Bache Gabrielsen, the company's new range dedicated to spirits other than cognac, was officially launched at Vinexpo. The House had already given a new dimension to Cognac with the creation of "AMERICAN OAK", the first Cognac ever aged in American oak barrels. These same barrels, which had already contained the Bache-Gabrielsen AMERICAN OAK cognac, were used to age WHISKY American Oak, the first product in the DistillationS range. This launch is a perfect illustration of the company's desire to move forward with its new signature "revealing spirits".

EXCELLENCY CLUB

REPOSITIONING AND REPACKAGING

For Les Bruleries Modernes, L'Assemblage is rethinking the positioning of an old whisky brand and taking it into new, offbeat territory. Thus was born the new Excellency Club, Its universe is both a whisky with a finish in cognac barrels that brings a real plus to the product, as well as the offbeat side of the gorilla, that touch of non-conformism that characterizes the spirit of Brûleries Modernes. An old story tells that a Gentleman's Club across the Channel had a gorilla as a mascot, to symbolize their originality.

HOLD UP GIN

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

The complex and very aromatic set will please gin lovers, whether it is simply accompanied by a tonic, in Negroni or any other cocktail of which it will be a more than convincing base.

MAISON BACHE GABRIELSEN // DISTILLATIONS

LAUNCH OF THE FIRST AQUAVIT MADE IN COGNAC

Aquavit is the Scandinavian spirit par excellence. Drawing on its Norwegian roots and know-how acquired in cognac for over 100 years, Bache-Gabrielsen is launching the first Aquavit to be made in Cognac. This achievement is the result of a collaboration between Bache-Gabrielsen (house founded in 1905), and the micro-distillery Audemus Spirits (created in 2013 in Cognac). This Aquavit is a blend of two spirits. The first, in which several botanicals such as caraway have been macerated, is distilled in a traditional Charentais still. The second one is distilled under vacuum and at low pressure, in a glass still, allowing to extract in fineness the aromas of the angelica. DistillationS Aquavit exists in two versions: a white version and a version aged in French oak barrels that have previously contained Bache Gabrielsen cognac.

DISTILLERIE TESSENDIER // RHUM SAISON​

BRAND CREATION

Distillerie Tessendier completes its product portfolio with the arrival of a Caribbean rum. The three selected batches have been distilled and aged in three different terroirs (Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados), blended in Charente and matured in cognac barrels by Jérome Tessendier, cellar master. Named Saison because of the 4 stages of its elaboration, this rum without added sugar is bottled at 42%.

A. DE FUSSIGNY

COLLABORATION WITH ARVIN

A. de Fussigny and Arvin collaborate to create a unique gold signet ring containing a 1970 vintage Petite Champagne cognac. As part of its ongoing quest for innovation and excellence, the House of A. de Fussigny sought to combine two worlds of luxury and decided to combine the best of jewelry with the best of spirits. It therefore turned to the house of Arvin, which has developed a unique technique allowing the encapsulation of great wines and spirits in a pearl that will then adorn precious jewels made to measure by Carl Jolibert, a renowned sapper for over 20 years. The Arvin signet ring for A. de Fussigny will be produced in only 10 pieces and will be available on request from the House of A. de Fussigny.

CHÂTEAU MONTIFAUD // OSMOZ GIN

BRAND CREATION

"Is there a cognac house more attached to tradition than Château Montifaud? Laurent Vallet and his wife Elodie, winegrowers and distillers at heart, created a surprise at Vinexpo with the launch of Osmoz distilled gin, entirely made and distilled from grapes. For the two references of the range - Osmoz Classic and Osmoz Citrus - they have married the unavoidable juniper with a selection of six characteristic flavors from their cognac collection: lime, apple, licorice, apricot, almond and clove. A diversification as the Spirits Valley likes them." VSNews

MAISON HARDY // LEGEND 1863

BRAND CREATION

Legends often begin with love stories. Legend 1863 tells the story of an English gentleman, Anthony Hardy, who became French because of his passion for a region and a product, cognac. Legend 1863 is the tribute of the House of Hardy to this entrepreneur for whom the rooster, emblem of France, was a symbol of conquest. A fascinating and complex project that required the creation of a bottle specifically for this product.

H. MOUNIER // SOURCE VODKA & GIN

PRODUCT CREATION

Source Vodka takes its name from its spring water, a demineralized water from the Gensac-La-Pallue chasm, in the heart of the Grande Champagne region of Cognac. Its perfect purity allows the Cellar Master of H. Mounier to elaborate the "small waters" which, once assembled with French wheat and wine surfin, will be at the origin of the quality of the Source Vodka. This 100% French vodka is therefore the meeting of water, wheat, grapes, the know-how of the Cellar Master and more than 500 years of history in Charente. Its little brother, Source Gin, is 100% French, distilled 5 times, with an impactful design thanks to the tree of life revisited in blue.
