PAUL BEAU COGNAC

Founding and History

• Paul Beau Cognac was established in the late 1800s in the heart of the Grande Champagne region, widely regarded as the premier cru of Cognac production. The house was founded by Paul Beau, who inherited a long family tradition of vine cultivation and distillation. Since its inception, the Beau family has been dedicated to producing high-quality Cognacs from their estate vineyards, passing down their artisanal expertise through generations.

• Today, Paul Beau remains a family-owned business, with a reputation for producing small-batch, craft Cognacs. The estate focuses on traditional methods of production, emphasizing the quality of the raw materials—particularly the grapes grown in their vineyards in Grande Champagne—and a meticulous aging process that highlights the terroir and craftsmanship behind each bottle.
