Cognac Seguinot Réserve

About Maison Seguinot

The Seguinot House is a family-owned Cognac estate located in Segonzac, in the heart of the Grande Champagne terroir, the Premier Cru of the Cognac appellation.

Founded in 1890, it continues an artisanal know-how passed down through generations. The estate cultivates Ugni Blanc vines on limestone, clay, and sandy soils, and produces its eaux-de-vie using traditional Charentaise distillation, followed by aging in French oak barrels.

Cognac Seguinot Réserve

The Cognac Seguinot Réserve is a refined expression made exclusively from eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne.

This cuvée is crafted from carefully selected eaux-de-vie aged in French oak barrels to develop balance, aromatic depth, and length on the palate.

It sits between the VSOP and XO categories, made from spirits aged beyond the VSOP minimum requirement (4 years) but not yet reaching the very long XO maturation level.
