Founding and History

Augier Cognac is one of the oldest Cognac houses, founded in 1643 by wine merchant Philippe Augier. As an early player in the history of Cognac production, the house played a significant role in shaping the industry and establishing the region's reputation for producing fine spirits. Augier was dedicated to creating high-quality eaux-de-vie and was one of the first to experiment with the distillation techniques that would later define Cognac as we know it today.
After being dormant for a period, Augier was revived with the aim of restoring the house’s historical importance while bringing a contemporary focus to its production. The brand continues to maintain its commitment to producing authentic, terroir-driven Cognacs, reflecting the origins of Cognac-making while appealing to modern tastes.

Style and Offerings

Augier Cognac is known for its emphasis on purity and the expression of terroir. The house focuses on using grapes from specific crus in the Cognac region to highlight the natural characteristics of each area. They work primarily with eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois, allowing the unique flavors and aromas of each region to shine through.
Augier's style is characterized by minimal intervention, with a focus on traditional, artisanal production methods. The house uses natural, unblended Cognacs that emphasize the raw, original flavors of the grape and the land. Augier aims to create Cognacs that are pure, structured, and fresh, with a balance of fruit, floral notes, and subtle spice.
