Brandy, Cognac & Armagnac
A
mong the world’s oldest and most enduring spirits, brandy represents
the transformation of wine through time, oak, and artistry. From the
refinement of Cognac to the depth of Armagnac — and the distinctive
expressions found across the globe — brandy reflects both place and
patience, offering warmth, character, and quiet complexity in every glass.
Cognac, crafted in western France, remains the most celebrated
expression of the style.
Distilled twice from delicate white wines and aged in French oak, it
develops layers of fruit, spice, and soft vanilla with remarkable finesse. From
the youthful brightness of VS to the balanced depth of VSOP and the
luxurious richness of XO, each tier tells its own story of time and tradition.
Further south in Gascony, Armagnac offers a more rustic and soulful
interpretation. Distilled only once, it reveals a fuller, earthier profile with
notes of plum, caramel, and wood spice. Authentic and expressive, it
captures the craftsmanship and quiet confidence of its region — the
embodiment of heritage in every sip.
Beyond France, exceptional grape distillates such as Spain’s brandies, Italy’s
elegant grappa’s, and fine expressions from California and South America
add their own regional flair, capturing the essence of ripe fruit and sunwarmed vineyards. Whether sipped neat after dinner or stirred into a
timeless cocktail, brandy rewards slow appreciation — a spirit built on
heritage and time, elegant, contemplative, and endlessly expressive.
Château de Laubade Armagnac
Family-owned since 1870, Château de Laubade
represents the very best of Gascony’s Armagnac
tradition. Produced entirely from estate-grown
grapes and distilled in a single continuous still,
Laubade’s expressions reveal layers of dried fruit,
spice, and toasted oak, with an elegance that
deepens beautifully over time. Authentic, soulful, and
impeccably crafted, these Armagnacs capture the spirit of southwest France in every glass.

Maison Ferrand Cognac
A pioneer of modern Cognac with deep historic
roots, Maison Ferrand crafts its spirits from estategrown Ugni Blanc grapes in the heart of Grande
Champagne. Each expression is distilled in small
copper pot stills and matured in a careful selection
of French oak barrels, yielding remarkable nuance
and texture. Balancing freshness, fruit, and spice,
Ferrand embodies both the heritage and innovation that define today’s finest Cognacs — elegant,
expressive, and unmistakably artisanal.
Tesseron Cognac
Founded in 1905, Tesseron remains one of the few Cognac
houses devoted exclusively to the finest Grande and Petite
Champagne crus. Each blend is drawn from an extraordinary
library of aged eaux-de-vie — some dating back to the 19th
century — offering remarkable depth, finesse, and length. Silky
texture, refined oak, and effortless balance make Tesseron a
benchmark for Cognac craftsmanship and timeless luxury.
Poli Grappa
Founded in 1898 in Schiavon, near Bassano del Grappa, Poli
remains one of Italy’s most respected distilleries. Still family-owned
and operated, Poli crafts its grappa’s from fresh pomace sourced
from local wineries, distilled slowly in traditional copper pot stills.
The result is a spirit of remarkable purity and fragrance — elegant,
balanced, and expressive of the grape’s true character. Each bottle
reflects over a century of dedication to craftsmanship and the
Italian art of distillation.
