WAYS AND MEANS OF THE CELLAR MASTER A know - how transmitted from generation to generation

Cognac making follows a very complex process. It is never born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but always from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them. The blending, or 'marriage' is conducted under the watchful eye of the cellar master who upholds the brand's taste. In Cognac, he or she is a great alchemist of style. Each Cognac house guards its own secrets regarding the blending and assembling of eaux-de-vie fiercely. With a great deal of expertise, combined with intuition and method, the cellar master holds the key to this secret and transmits his know - how from generation to generation. He is responsible for the purchase of eaux-de-vie, he follows their elaboration until their maturity, decides their transfer from young to old wooden casks and oversees the blending. His role is essential in reaching the consistency of each product. Standardising each Cognac's quality enables us to offer constant excellence to even the most demanding connoisseurs.
