Guy Pinard began making Bio Cognac in 1967 earlier than anyone else and is known as the manufacturer which produces the best cognac in the Fins Bois region of France. Guy Pinard has a high reputation for producing cognac without a harsh taste or unnecessary traits. It’s also the maker of Raisi-Bulle BIO, a non-alcohol 100% grape sparkling juice.

Chateau de Beaulon has a long history and was established in 1480 under the reign of Louis XI. It was then taken over by the Beaulon family in 1510 and has remained as such to this day. In addition to the Ugni Blanc grapes which are a main ingredient in today’s brandy, they also put forth the effort to cultivate Folle Blanche which produces an exquisite taste.

A family-owned company that has been in operation since 1875, Tiffon has recovered from the severe damage it experienced in the Centennial War and has been transformed, becoming very prestigious with its 40 hectares of land in Grand Champagne and Fin Bois today. In addition, the present head of the family has welcomed the long-established and renowned blender, Richard Braastad, and the quality has become even more distinguished.

In 1905, a young lieutenant, Thomas Bache Gabrielsen, arrived in a land of Cognac. That was the beginning of what would later come to be known as cognac’s prestigious Bache Gabrielsen. “DUPUY” is one of several brands owned by Bash Gabrielsen that has gained popularity in the Koinuma `S selection and many people still frequently inquire about. From this fact, it is easy to understand that this manufacturer produces high-quality cognac.

Armagnac, a fine manufacturer in the Golden Triangle, has old storage cellars which are ideal for aging the Armagnac in overgrown soil and oak casks. The style of blending, which has remained unchanged since 1919, creates an unparalleled Armagnac. We are very particular about making Armagnac with 100% Folle Blanche, which is not commonly found in Armagnac. Six particularly excellent vintages have been chosen from casks that have not been diluted with water (Cask Strength) then bottled.

This cognac is produced in the village of La Basted d’Armagnac, one of the best areas in Bas-Armagnac and famous for having the best soil in the Armagnac region. It’s the pride of Mr. Talbe who continued to stick with the Folle Blanche and Baco Blanc. Normally, this manufacturer blends the two types when making Armagnac, but this time, each kind was bottled separately. Please enjoy the unique taste of each grape.

In 1838, during the Louis Phillipe Dynasty, Dartigalongue moved from Saint Lannes near Madiran to Nogaro, Gers and established a company which continues to this day. It is a solid family-run business that remains true to its traditions and motto “Always be true to Armagnac.” In 1969, Pierre de Dartigalongue established his own distillery in Salles D’Armagnac and began full-scale production. Since then, the finest white grapes have been distilled into colorless transparent Eau de Vie every year, filling 400 liter oak casks which gradually add color as it awaits completion.
