The visit to Michel Forgeron was an unexpected highlight to our cognac tour of several houses. We were lucky to have Christophe, to guide us through several barrelled samples from their estate. His explanation of the making, blending and trusting of their eaux de vie, to produce several fine cognacs was second to none. Christophe has a true passion and pride for his cognac that was prevalent throughout the visit. A rare quality in a producer who obviously loves what he does. Thank you Christophe for great day, we will be returning soon for further supplies!

According to the genealogy researched by Valentin Guillon we know that our family have been living on the same farm since 1610. Over the past 3 generations the farm has been gradually planted with vines and the secrets of blending the family’s Cognac and Pineau des Charentes has been passed from grandfather to father and now daughter.Line Sauvant is the Maître de Chais of this Mansion, and she manages all the process of production, from the vineyard to the bottle!The vineyards of Guillon-Painturaud brand cover 18 hectares (about 45 acres) of land and are set in the heart of the Grande Champagne region – Grande Champagne is the way we call the Premier Cognac grape growing area. The vines benefit from the chalky soil and local climate, allowing the growth of grapes to produce a spirit that is renowned for its delicacy, powerful aromas and longevity. We produce both Cognac and Pineau des Charentes, which is a blended mix of Cognac with white or rose fresh grape juice; and it is also aged

We really enjoyed our Cognac tasting here - we rang ahead to confirm a time (I think you can book online too) - it was a busy week so there was only time for a tasting not a full tour. Cécile is really friendly & speaks excellent English & gave us a really good insight into how they run their family-run business. We’d had their cognac before so it was no surprise to us how good it tasted - but it was great to taste different ages of cognac alongside each other & to hear more about how it is produced. They have grape juices to taste for the non-drinkers too, and liqueurs alongside the different cognacs. There’s no pressure to buy, but Raby is good value for an excellent Cognac - I’d much prefer to buy from them than pay extra for a big brand. We hope to go back for a full tour when we’re next in France.
