Where time does its work
Our house COGNAC LEGIER embodies the heritage and tradition of the region.
For generations, we have dedicated ourselves to the creation of exceptional cognacs, fusing ancestral know-how and contemporary innovation.
The wine cellar
Our expertise begins in the wine cellar, where the grapes are sent to pneumatic presses to extract the juice. After that, the grape juice is sent to tanks for fermentation to begin and get wine.
We have 2 types of tanks:
- Stainless steel tanks: Latest acquisitions as part of the expansion of our wine cellar.
- Concrete tanks: These traditional tanks have been modernized and offer optimal winemaking quality.
The work of winemaking is crucial to obtain wines of the best possible quality.
To obtain cognac, the wines are then distilled in a Charentais still. The typicity of Charente distillation is double distillation, a tradition that we continue with passion.
At the end of distillation, the wine is transformed into a white brandy intended to age under wood.
The eaux-de-vie cellar
The eaux-de-vie age in French oak barrels adding depth and complexity to the cognac, and this minimum 2 years.
Aging is a stage of infinite patience, where each eau-de-vie develops at its own pace.
If this is not yet the case, we invite you to come and discover our cellars, real lungs of our domain. Immerse yourself in the world of Cognac Légier through a guided tour and personalized tastings. You will witness the passion and expertise that drive our daily lives and understand why each bottle is unique.
