Oak Estate Spirits producer in Saint-Palais-de-Phiolin, Charente Maritime

A creator of spirits for over 150 years, Domaine du Chêne is a family business founded in 1865 by Jean Baptiste Doussoux.

Domaine du Chêne is located in Saint-Palais-de-Phiolin, in the heart of the Charente-Maritime region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. You will discover the richness of the terroir and the history that our estate carries through generations. The story begins in 1865 when Jean-Baptiste Doussoux purchased his first still, determined to distill his wines and age his Cognac eaux-de-vie in order to control their quality and authenticity.

Distillation, somewhat abandoned during the war, was restarted by Jean Doussoux, heir to the estate, in 1946. The first Pineau des Charentes were produced from 1947.

It was within this dynamic that, in 1993, Jean Doussoux and Jean-Marie Baillif joined forces and created the brand as we know it today, "Domaine du Chêne." They also expanded the vineyard and diversified the already extensive range of grape varieties. The vineyard now covers just over 90 hectares. Building on this diversity, we strive to create new, innovative products that better showcase the richness of our estate.

Over generations, we have always sought to express the brilliance of our region through intense eaux-de-vie. Jean-Marie Baillif now works with his children to perpetuate the history and know-how of Domaine du Chêne.
