product Details
Font-Borne 1940 Heritage 70 Year Old Cognac
A sadly silent Grande Champagne house which was founded in 1850 by the Jobit family. The name holds a high reputation amongst cognac lovers who are now finding it harder to source with each passing year. The modest house spanned across 12 hectares and incredibly never exported its wines outside of France. Clients of the producer included a few select restaurants and even included the multi award winning Restaurant Le Taillevent of Paris.
This impressive vintage was distilled in wartime 1940 and aged for a staggering 70 years.
