Hermitage Paradis 1884 Grande Champagne Cognac

The growers’ cellars would have been old farm buildings, probably with natural floors, ideal for the long ageing of these cognacs.  The tannins from the wood have given this cognac deep and rich flavours of damsons toffee, and roasted nuts. Aged for more than 70 years in cask, the cognac has developed a rancio, a type of madeiraisation only found in the oldest cognacs, a quality which will enhance this cognac for years to come.
