Maison Augier

More Than 350 Years Of History

We tailor our distillation method to the grapes and terroirs we use, to better accentuate our cognacs’ aromas. We modulate the proportion of the fine lees naturally present in the wine in our distillation: either to add power and richness or maintain aromatic subtlety. Currently we use three different levels; racked fine lees (0-2%) for purity and subtlety, natural fine lees (2-6%) for expressiveness and finesse, and added fine lees (7-15%) for power and structure.

One Grape

We use just a single grape variety in our eaux-de-vie. Naturally we work with the Ugni Blanc grape, the Cognac region’s flagship variety, but also with Folle Blanche, a rare, historical grape that produces delicate, expressively aromatic eaux-de-vie.

One Growth

Each of our cognacs bears the stamp of a single Cru,giving it a distinct, assertive character. We offer cognacs from the prestigious terroirs of Fine and Petite Champagne as well as from the “Bois ordinaires cru “, in the Oléron Island, the least well-known soil of the Cognac region.

The Maison Augier philosophy: Strive for typicality, cultivate neglected terroirs and grapes, create cognacs of singular character.
