THE ORIGINS OF RÉVÉLATION LOT.20: This Grande Champagne has been identified as coming from the Bouteville region. It was distilled in a traditional distillery equipped with two small pot stills, one with a capacity of 3 hectoliters and the other 5 hectoliters, which are considerably smaller than the standard stills used in modern production. Both stills were coal-fired rather than wood-fired. The aging process began in barrels before being transferred to 150- and 200-liter oak casks. During World War II, this cognac was safeguarded in the private residence of the distiller, hidden in a “secret room” ingeniously built behind a false wall. THE ORIGINS OF BACHE-GABRIELSEN COGNAC: Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen, a young man from Holmestrand, Norway, founded our cognac house in 1905 at the age of just 22. In the early years, he was joined by his partner Peter A. Rustad, who sadly passed away in 1916. After Rustad’s death, Thomas continued to run the business on his own. Today, several generations later, the house remains proudly family-owned and is led by Thomas’s great-grandson, Hervé Bache-Gabrielsen. From the beginning, our family’s mission has been – and continues to be – to carefully select, craft, and deliver cognacs of the highest quality to our friends and clients around the world.
