Maison Paul Giraud – Artisan Cognac from Grande Champagne

The Paul Giraud estate is an independent family-run producer located in Bouteville, in the heart of Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac.

It controls the entire production process: vineyard cultivation, traditional Charentais distillation, and aging in French oak barrels in humid cellars that encourage slow and complex maturation.

Paul Giraud cognacs are known for their natural style: no added caramel, no cold filtration, preserving the pure expression of the terroir.

The house holds some of the oldest eaux-de-vie in Grande Champagne, allowing the creation of rare cuvées such as the Héritage Cognac.
