Like its distant cousin, Bordeaux wine, Cognac is universally known and has transformed a small town into the capital of a world-renowned trade.
Developed according to a tradition dating back five centuries, using double distillation and oak barrel ageing, this brandy reflects a certain French way of life.
And thanks to tradition, there are brands that have given and continue to give Cognac its reputation for excellence. We invite you to spend a day discovering this refined world where excellence is the hallmark!

Then head to the history museum in Cognac, to understand Cognac production, from white grape harvesting to improvement in oak barrels, through double distillation, invented, according to legend, by the knight Jacques de la Croix Maron de Segonzac.
