Cognac Pierre de Segonzac XO reserve Decanter

Presentation of the Cognac Pierre de Segonzac Estate:

📜 The history of Cognac Pierre de Segonzac dates back to 1702, when Jacques Ferrand, an ancestor of the family, distilled his first harvest at the Biard estate.

Today, this exceptional vineyard is located in the heart of Grande Champagne 1er Cru, the most prestigious terroir in the region. The property spans nearly 10 hectares, benefiting from limestone soil ideal for producing refined eaux-de-vie.

A artisanal know-how passed down through generations

Distillation is carried out on-site with two Charentais copper stills (18 and 25 hectoliters), one of which is one of the last hammered by hand. The traditional technique of manual “bonne chauffe” ensures a unique distillation, preserving all the aromatic richness of the Cognac.
