- Description
- A historic bottle of Gautier Frères Fine Champagne Cognac distilled in 1865 and bottled in the 1930s, predating the phylloxera crisis that devastated European vineyards. Over 65 years in wood, this spirit represents a vanished era of Cognac production and the fortitude of the pre-disaster vineyard. Such bottles are archaeological artifacts as much as spirits, offering a direct connection to 19th-century viticulture and distillation. For collectors and historians rather than everyday drinking.
