Giboin Napoléon Réserve de L'Hermitage

Giboin Napoléon Réserve de L'Hermitage is an exceptional cognac from the prestigious Borderies region, crafted from eaux-de-vie aged between 10 and 20 years in French oak casks. This extended maturation gives the cognac a beautiful balance of power and finesse, with the floral character of the Borderies perfectly complementing ripe fruit tones and subtle spice. Ideal for those who appreciate the depth and elegance of a well-aged cognac.

Tasting Notes

Elegant aromas of dried apricot, vanilla and violets, enriched with soft oak notes and a touch of cocoa.

Rich and rounded with flavours of honey, caramelised nuts, spices and ripe peach.

Long and harmonious, with lingering notes of fruit, vanilla and warm wood accents. A refined cognac that gracefully captures the essence of the Borderies.

Giboin

Maison Giboin is a small but sophisticated cognac producer that has been in the family since 1830. Through the marriages of Lambert and Giboin, the current company, run by the seventh generation, was created in 1953. They grow Ugni-Blanc (and a little Folle Blanche) on two crûs: L'Hermitage (Borderies), known for its siliceous clay soils that give intensity, and Apremont (Fins Bois), with chalky soils for fruity finesse. Everything is done in-house: harvesting, distillation, ageing, blending and bottling. They produce only limited volume and stay true to craft and terroir. A house that clearly deserves a place in the spotlight of Cognac lovers.
