Wine-growers in the French region of Saintonge  for over two centuries, the Merlet family installed  its first still around 1850 in order to begin distilling  and producing Cognac. Over several generations,  they have refined their craft and now produce  unique eau de vie that are characteristic of the  Saintonge terroir. Everything, from the alchemy of  the still’s copper to the oak of the barrels, comes  together over time to allow their eaux de vie to  blossom into harmonious Cognacs.

This bottling was distilled in 1984 and bottled in 2019 at 35 years old.
