ABK6 COGNAC

Founding and History

• ABK6 Cognac was established in 2005 by Francis Abécassis, though the family has a long history of winemaking and distillation in the Cognac region. The name “ABK6” is a modern, shortened form of the family’s surname, symbolizing the house’s contemporary approach to Cognac production while still rooted in traditional values.

• Located in the heart of the Cognac region, ABK6 is one of the few single-estate producers, meaning they control the entire production process from grape to bottle. Their vineyards, distillery, and cellars are all located on the family’s 370-hectare estate, which is spread across some of the best terroirs in the Fins Bois, Petite Champagne, and Grande Champagne crus. This allows ABK6 to produce unique, high-quality Cognacs that fully express the character of their terroir.

Style and Offerings

• ABK6 Cognacs are known for their modern, fresh approach to the traditional Cognac style. By focusing on single-estate production, ABK6 aims to capture the essence of the terroir and produce Cognacs with a distinctive sense of place. Their eaux-de-vie are distilled on the lees to enhance complexity and aged in French oak barrels, allowing the flavors to develop and mature slowly.

• ABK6 Cognacs are characterized by their balance of fruit, floral notes, and rich, woody undertones, with a particular focus on smoothness and approachability. The house’s commitment to single-estate production ensures a high level of consistency and quality, with each expression offering a refined yet modern interpretation of traditional Cognac.
