ROULLET COGNAC

Founding and History

• Roullet Cognac was established in 1780, making it one of the oldest Cognac houses in the region. The brand’s history is closely tied to the rich terroir of the Grande Champagne region, which is renowned for producing some of the finest eaux-de-vie in Cognac. Originally, the house was a small family business dedicated to producing high-quality Cognac for local consumption, but over the centuries, it has evolved into an internationally respected name.

• Despite its growth, Roullet remains committed to traditional methods of Cognac production. The house places a strong emphasis on using only eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions, ensuring that each bottle reflects the unique qualities of these prestigious crus. The family’s dedication to quality and heritage has been passed down through generations, resulting in Cognacs that are a true expression of time-honored craftsmanship.

Style and Offerings

• Roullet Cognac is known for its refined, elegant style, with a focus on producing complex, well-balanced Cognacs that highlight the unique terroir of the Grande and Petite Champagne crus. The house distills its eaux-de-vie on the lees to enhance the richness and body of the final spirit, and ages them in French oak barrels for extended periods to develop deep, layered flavors.

• Roullet’s Cognacs are celebrated for their floral and fruity profiles, with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and delicate flowers often accompanied by hints of spice, vanilla, and rancio (a characteristic of long-aged Cognacs). The house focuses on producing mature Cognacs, with many expressions aged for decades to ensure a smooth, well-rounded finish that appeals to connoisseurs.
