Gautier Cognac Celebrates its 250th anniversary with a Special Edition Cognac Fine Champagne Grand Cru Reserve

June 15, 2005

Sausalito, CA - After 250 years of creating high-quality, award-winning cognacs, Gautier Cognac, one of the oldest and most well-respected cognac companies in the world, is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a specially-developed Cognac Fine Champagne Grand Cru Reserve.

In tribute to Louis Gautier, who founded the House of Gautier in 1755, the Cognac Fine Champagne Grand Cru Reserve is made using only the best crus, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. A silk-screened clear glass bottle enhances the amber color of this fine cognac, which comes in an elegant metallic gold and blue canister that illustrates the river surrounding Gautier’s cellars.

The Cognac Fine Champagne Grand Cru Reserve will be available nationwide this summer. This special edition is an addition to Gautier’s well-established line of high-quality cognacs, which includes:

• VS/VSOP – a harmonious and smooth cognac to enjoy at any time.
• XO Gold and Blue – a fine, round cognac in a contemporary, elegant, clear glass bottle.
• Tradition Rare – a rare blend of the oldest reserves aged in “Gautier Cellars Paradise,” presented in a numbered bottle hand-sealed with wax.
• Pinar Del Rio – an exceptional cognac developed especially for the cigar aficionado.
• Extra Vieille XO Decanter – a blend of very old cognacs for the cognac connoisseur.

The House of Gautier passionately creates full-bodied and smooth cognacs in the purest tradition. All Gautier specialty products are aged “over the river” in cellars built on the foundations of a former watermill. The flow of soft water running beneath the cellars allows a constant high humidity level that imparts Gautier Cognac with its unique flavor and smoothness.

Among the most well-established and fastest growing wine and spirit companies in the world, Boisset America imports Gautier and produces a full line of liqueurs, wines, and spirits.
