Distillation and production
Production method
Selection of eaux‑de‑vie from the crus of Grande and Petite Champagne; prolonged ageing in oak casks in humid chais; careful blending by the maître de chai to ensure Fine Champagne blends contain at least 50% Grande Champagne.
Ageing
Ageing in oak casks in chais (including the 'Le Chai Paradis' archive for very old reserves); long maturation periods followed by careful blending.
Producer history AE Dor
The Maison A.E. DOR was started by the Dor family in the 19th century; the official site indicates that Amédée‑Édouard Dor turned his passion for great eaux‑de‑vie into a trading house founded in 1858. Over time the Maison has built a historical collection of cognac wines (the 'Le Chai Paradis'), with examples in its reserve dating back to the early 19th century.
Production philosophy
To preserve and showcase high‑origin eaux‑de‑vie (Grande and Petite Champagne), prioritizing careful selection, long maturation in oak casks and meticulous blending by the cellar master to create elegant expressions suited to ageing or collecting.
Territory
Cognac region (Charente), sourcing eaux‑de‑vie from the Grande and Petite Champagne areas; operational base in Jarnac (Charente).
