About the producer
Dudognon cognacs are the last representatives of absolute authenticity, tradition and terroir, notwithstanding beauty:
The Dudognon family have grown grapes in the small town of Lignières-Sonneville since 1776. This region is the heart of the famed Grande Champagne of Cognac. Spirits from this premier cru are especially renowned for their tremendous length.
These cognacs originate from soils that are not treated with chemicals or nitrates. The decisions during distillation are done with the glass in hand rather than with scientific instruments. The oak for their barrels is air-dried for five years next to the chai. While many cognacs are laden with permittedadditives (sugar,boisé,caramel)), the only additive used in Dudognon cognacs is water. Because of this, their colour is fairly light . A very traditional pot still of 12 hl is still fired with wood and coal.
