More than two decades of maturity give him an exceptional bouquet, finesse and hold. This multigenerational family cultivates vineyards intended for the development of Cognac's spirits, from younger to older.

One of our coups. The Maison house, with its head Jean-Paul Lefoulon, a quiet man who is truly passionate about who cognac has almost no secrets. His small family farm has seen four generations. Today, it offers us authenticity by demonstrating that cognac is above all a complex alchemy between a land developed by a beautiful viticulture, a human sensibility when distillation and a long experience of ageing. The vineyard, classified as Small Champagne, is planted with white ugni. The latter will allow the production of a white wine offering the necessary characteristics for charentais wines intended for distillation. These friable limestone lands, rich in lime carbonate, will arise from eaux-de-vie, whose style is incomparable, whose density and complexity give an aromatic depth that is unique to cognacs Lefoulon. Among other things, the range offers VSOP, subtle assembly between different spirits that have aged, on average, between 8 and 10 years, in oak barrels, new and red. The Old Reserve will grow between 12 and 15 in oak barrels. The «discovery» box offers gourmet gourmet travel with a variety of flavours.
