Jean Fillioux Cognac Grande Champagne

Jean Fillioux is a prestigious five-generation Cognac house in the heart of the Grande Champagne, the 1st Cru of Cognac. The family hand-crafts its eaux-de-vie from the 25 hectares of vineyards of the Domaine de la Pouyade in Juillac-le-Coq, in the “golden triangle” of Grande Champagne. Each year, fifth-generation owner Christophe Fillioux harvests the Ugni Blanc grapes, makes the wine and double-distills it in classic Charentais pot stills, then blends and ages it with his father Pascal, known as the “Magician of Aromas”.

Known for a meticulous ageing programme and a unique barrel selection, the house has an unsurpassed reputation for quality Grande Champagne Cognac. The range runs from the young, fresh Le Coq, which is perfect for cocktails, through the VSOP Subtil & So, the 8-year-old La Pouyade and the Cep d’Or XO Selection, to the Très Vieux XO Extra, the XO Grande Réserve and the 50-year-old Réserve Familiale. There are also the Cigar Club, So Elegantissime XO, Moulin Rouge XO Extra and cask-strength single casks.
