Distilled using traditional methods in Charentais stills, the wines from the vineyards are used to produce Cognac eaux-de-vie. This is a key stage that determines the aromatic composition and consequently the quality of the finished product. Immerse yourself in one of the stages in the production of Cognac!
Meet a distiller
In the Charentes region, a distiller is a winegrower who distils his own wine, usually at home, in the heart of his farm. From November to the end of March, he lives to the rhythm of the stills, loading the wines into the boiler, arming himself with his tasting glass to make the first and second cuts to collect only the most perfectly aromatic toast. Some will open their doors to let you discover this unique experience.
A unique experience at the foot of the still
Enthusiastic winegrowers offer you unique moments to share: breakfast at the foot of the still, distillation over a wood fire, a unique dinner in the heart of a wine storehouse. They open their doors every year from November to March.
Distillation at the heart of a Cognac house
What could be more exciting than visiting the production sites of the great Cognac trading houses? From vinification to bottling, some houses open the doors of their production sites to show you all the stages involved in making Cognac. Each has its own distillation method, faithful to the tradition of the House. Awaken your senses in the heart of a room of 41 stills in full heating, a unique moment.
