Official website
The story
The property is located in Saint-Preuil, in the heart of the Grande Champagne. The company states a production tradition dating back to 1805 and today manages a vineyard of about 30 hectares; it is family-run and the brand markets several cognac categories (VS, VSOP, Napoléon, X.O., Brut de Fût, etc.).
Production philosophy
Artisanal orientation and terroir expression: the bottlings emphasize the aromatic finesse typical of the Grande Champagne and employ vinification and ageing practices aimed at extracting complexity and length from the estate eaux-de-vie.
Territory
Saint-Preuil (Charente), classified Grande Champagne area, France
Production method
Traditional cognac production from estate-grown grapes; distillation in small-scale Charentais/pot stills (traditional capacity reported around 16.5 hl) and subsequent ageing in oak barrels.
Distillation
Traditional small-scale Charentais (pot still) distillation; the house reports the use of traditional alembics and practices focused on aromatic extraction (distillation on lees noted by third-party sources).
Ageing
Maturation in French oak casks; for some expressions prolonged use of new Limousin oak barrels and pronounced toasting is reported to achieve colour and structure.
