Style and Offerings
La Fontaine de La Pouyade Cognacs are known for their finesse, complexity, and balance. As a house that exclusively produces Cognac from the Grande Champagne region, their offerings tend to highlight the hallmark characteristics of this premier cru: floral, fruity notes with great depth and the ability to age exceptionally well.
The house focuses on producing long-aged Cognacs, allowing the eaux-de-vie to mature slowly in oak barrels, which imparts richness, subtle spice, and complexity. The result is a collection of Cognacs that are refined, elegant, and expressive of the terroir, with no additives like caramel or sugar, ensuring the purity of each expression.
