Your chance to own a bottle of 100 year old single estate Cognac!

The Bertrand family have been crafting fine cognacs at the Domaine Des Brissons De Laage since 1731, winning respect (and prizes) as independent producers and a reputation for excellence among connoisseurs. But although their cognacs are now sold around the world, the Betrands have always liked to keep some back for themselves, in a private collection for special occasions. They know that the very best things in life are worth waiting for. The bottle we are auctioning today was drawn from a barrel laid down in the first decade of the 20th century, more than 100 years ago, and aged ever since in the finest Limousin oak.

Domaine Des Brissons De Laage, 17500 Reaux, France www.cognac-bertrand.com
