Meukow

Meukow originated from the commercial activities of brothers Auguste-Christophe and Gustav Meukow, who were sent to France in the mid-19th century to select eaux-de-vie; the trading office was formally established on 1 August 1862. Ownership changed several times over the years; since the 1970s Meukow has been part of the Compagnie de Guyenne group. In 1993 the “Félin” bottle featuring the panther was introduced and became the brand's symbol. Today the maison is managed by the Coste family and distributed internationally.

Respect for Cognac tradition combined with a bold, flavour-driven approach: passion for the product, careful blending of eaux-de-vie and a family spirit on an international scale. The maison emphasises power, elegance and harmony in its blends.

Cognac (Appellation Cognac), Charente, France. Meukow uses eaux-de-vie from the main crus of the appellation: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Borderies and Bois Ordinaires.

Traditional double distillation of wines; selection and blending of eaux-de-vie from the different crus of the Cognac region; ageing in oak barrels and cellar reserve management to achieve the maison's aromatic balance.

Double distillation in traditional pot stills (Charentais pot still method).

Ageing in oak barrels; some reserves are kept in the maison's cellars for decades (some spirits over 50 years).
