Description
Cognac Ehrman & Ehrman, 1900
Grande Champagne Cognac (Magnum)
The 1900 vintage in Cognac stands at the dawn of a new century — a period when traditional distillation methods, extended oak ageing and merchant bottlings defined the finest spirits of the era. From the Grande Champagne cru, widely regarded as the premier terroir of Cognac for producing the longest-lived and most refined eaux-de-vie, this extraordinary example represents over a century of maturation and preservation.
Ehrman & Ehrman were well-known wine and spirit merchants with strong Anglo-French connections, supplying fine Cognacs to the British market during a time when cask imports and private merchant bottlings were common practice. The magnum format further enhances the rarity and collectability of this bottle, offering both historical significance and impressive visual presence.
Tasting Notes:
Now a deep mahogany amber with copper and olive reflections, the bouquet is profoundly layered and evocative. Aromas of antique oak, polished walnut and dried fig are interwoven with notes of tobacco leaf, old leather and caramelised orange peel. With time in the glass, subtle nuances of cocoa, spice and rancio emerge, adding remarkable depth. On the palate it is supple and harmonious, the texture silken despite its age. Flavours of dried fruits, toasted almond and warm toffee unfold slowly, leading to an exceptionally long, contemplative and refined finish.
Serving & Enjoyment:
Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. Allow the spirit time to breathe. A Cognac of this stature is best savoured slowly, perhaps at the close of a memorable evening.
Summary:
An exceptionally rare turn-of-the-century Grande Champagne Cognac in magnum format, the 1900 Ehrman & Ehrman offers historical depth, remarkable maturity and enduring elegance — a true collector’s piece from the golden age of Cognac.
A very rare MAGNUM format of Grande Champagne Cognac from the turn of the century.
