The Hermitage 1979 Chez Richon GC was bottled in February 2015 and the Hermitage 1974 Chez Richon Grande Champagne was bottled in 2013. However, the Hermitage 1914 Borderies is rather different since it was taken out of barrel around 1990 and placed in bonbonnes, a sort of large glass demijohn usually in a basket case. The reason for doing this, as you rightly assume, is that once in glass no further changes can occur and the cognac at this time was judged to be at its best, leaving it any longer would have led to a gradual reduction in its very high quality. It was actually bottled late in 2014. Cognacs from the Borderies generally mature faster than those from the Champagnes and the 1914 is almost certainly the finest we have ever tasted from that region. It has developed a very rich rancio or enrichening of the cognac created by long ageing in oak barrels, it is without doubt, a real masterpiece and has been highly acclaimed by connoisseurs and specialist in the industry.

Enigste cognachuis in deze straat dat ik ken.

Rechtstreeks bij Forgeron kopen lijkt dan een heel stuk voordeliger, logisch ook.
