1 bottle Grande Champagne Cognac from the Private Stock of Alexis Lichine
Slightly worn capsule. Level 4cms. Bottle number 297
Label reads: I found this rare, old Cognac hidden away by Mr Saulnier who lives in Grande Champagne, the area which produces the characteristically full-bodied Brandies which are the greatest bearing the name Cognac. It comes from a barrel which Mr Saulnier had hidden away for exhibition purposes, and was obtained after many years of negotiation.
It is a magnificent old Brandy, unblended and unreduced. This is one of the greatest Cognac I have tasted in my life. Alexis Lichine
