Additional Information

Good day! I’m Frédéric Bourgoin, a vintner who identifies himself as a terroirist and fugitive alchemist. My 25-hectare vineyard, currently transitioning to organic agriculture, is situated near Angoulême in the Charente region of France. The Bourgoin family embarked on the wine journey in 1930, but began bottling and marketing in a more modern time: the 21st of November, 2015. At present, our bottles can be found in over 150 Michelin-starred restaurants throughout France, and even at the Elysée Palace! My cognacs are natural, unblended, unsweetened, colorant-free, and unfiltered. With a unique approach to the cognac category, both my winemaking style and my products are youthful and authentic. Come for a visit; the truth can be found at the bottom of the bottle!

  • Only people over the age of 18 may consume alcoholic beverages.

Enthusiastic and passionate Cognac distillers. - Rebecca shared the enthusiasm her family has for producing unique products and experiences. The family is committed to honor the past while exploring products that are outside the box. We learned about the process, the soil, and the history. We were able to taste all of their products as each was explained with passion. To our delight a few nights later we found two of the items were available at our hotel bar. The experience is worth the lovely drive to the small village of Tarsac.
