      It is through the double distillation process in traditional Charente copper stills that the wine is transformed into brandy which, after a long aging process, will become cognac.


      • Aging

      Housed in oak barrels, our products, in the tranquility of our cellars, after many years of aging, will give their best aromas.


      • The assembly

      The art of creating subtle blends of different eaux-de-vie for each range of cognac (XO, VSOP, ...).
