Camus just launched the Rarissimes Bons Bois Vintage 1940, this Cognac is very exceptional as Bons Bois normally won’t age much longer than 20-30 years. Also the Bons Bois region isn’t used much for producing Cognac. In general, the Bons Bois taste is: light, pleasant with a touch of earthiness.
According the House of Camus, this Camus Rarissimes Cru Bons Bois vintage 1940 is one of the oldest vintages officially recognised in the Cognac AOC.

Led by president and majority owner Alexandre Gabriel, Cognac Ferrand has a brand portfolio that sold 70,000 cases in the U.S. last year across its Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Cerbois Armagnac, Mathilde liqueurs, Plantation rum, Daron Calvados and Citadelle gin brands. (Landy Cognac, with which Ferrand is partnered with W.J. Deutsch & Sons, sells another 13,000 cases in the U.S. annually.)

Courvoisier has just announced the partnership between Shaq and their new product C by Courvoisier.
C by Courvoisier is the newest member to the Courvoisier family, and it’s about to put a whole new spin on the cognac you’re used to. It’s doubled aged and produced in small batches.

Comandon Cognac, producer of fine boutique premium cognacs and winner of the best cognac at the world spirit competition, has just announced that it has launched the first “Single-Barrel Cognac” selection.
Comandon Single Barrel Cognac is the first cognac house to introduce a full line of single barrel cognacs while also producing the classic VS/VSOP/XO qualities.

The Netherlands national Bay van der Bunt has claimed the title of owning the “world’s largest collection of old liquors”.
Sadly, however, he’s willing to relinquish the title for the price $8 million (US). The historic collection holds over 5,000 bottled liquors to include 250 years old cognac, whisky, armagnac, port, madeira and rare liqueurs.

Otard did a major restyling and rebranding lately, the name has been changed from Otard to Baron Otard, also the bottle-design (See picture: left old, right new bottle) and blends changed.
Most shocking change in blend is the Otard VSOP Fine Champagne, the new Baron Otard is no 100% Fine Champagne Cognac anymore. Luckily the great taste didn’t changed very much. We will post the review of this new Cognac very soon!

Divers near Åland say they have found the wreck of a ship carrying a valuable load of cognac and liqueurs that sank during the First World War between Finland and Sweden.
According to some reports, it was carrying a mixed cargo including steel products and as many as 1,000 bottles of cognac and 300 bottles of liqueur.

This year is the 100th anniversary of Martell’s most iconic product; their Cordon Bleu.
The Martell Cordon Bleu Centenary cognac features the infinity sign to represent the figure 100 and is also available as a special edition, presented in a wooden giftcase with silver trims and a magnetite opening system, engraved with key historical dates relating to Martell Cordon Bleu and decorated with 100 silver metallic squares in honour of the occasion. 

A. de Fussigny cognac is proud to announce the launching of four rare and exclusive vintage cognacs as part of the A. de Fussigny Vintage Collection.
The Vintage Collection is attractively presented in a luxurious, uniquely designed orange lacquered wood box and is available in limited and small quantities.
Four vintages are released: 1969, 1970, 1975 and 1988.

Folle Blanche is the most elegant grape variety in the Cognac, Grande Champagne is the best cru of all Cognac regions. A combination of these two is very hard to find, only some very old (pre-1895) are to be found…
Luckily Raymond Ragnaud made the Folle Blache Vintage 2002, and we tasted it at the Vinexpo! It is truly an exceptional Cognac!
