Bache Gabrielsen Hors D’Age
Lot number: 168-02939
Winning bid: £95
Norway, 1877, Josef Alexander Gabrielsen and Kamilla Bache first opened their own shop to sell spirits. Throughout the years they passed their passion onto their son, Thomas.
In 1903, at the age of 20, Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen left the military administration and was sent by his father to France, and more precisely to Cognac, in order to develop the family business. There he met his future wife, Odette, a young Charentaise girl whose parents are wine-growers. In 1905, with the help of his Norwegian friend Peter Rustad, the two associates buy the Maison A. Edmond Dupuy, a cognac house that had been founded in 1852. And that’s where the story of Bache-Gabrielsen cognac begins.
On 23rd January 1906, Thomas and Odette were married in Cognac. Together, they started to lay the foundations of an ambitious and prosperous Cognac Maison.
