De Luze VS Fine Champagne Cognac

The De Luze VS Fine Champagne Cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie from the two premier growing regions of Cognac, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, with at least 51% of the blend sourced from the Premier Cru. The wine was distilled unfiltered, on the lees, in the distillery on the family estate. Aged for at least two years, this Cognac has been matured in French Limousin Oak barrels that were made in De Luze’s own cooperage.

The House of De Luze in came into existence through an international set-up in the 19th century. In 1817, brothers Alfred and Louis-Philippe De Luze took off to New York to build up business relations in America, and soon established a shop. However, they realized that it would be more productive if one of them actually was based in the Cognac region in order to manage trade and exports. Alfred therefore returned to Bordeaux, where he founded Maison De Luze & Fils with his sons, dealing in Bordeaux wine and Cognac which could then be distributed via his brother’s agency in New York. Over the next four decades, they continued to expand trade, setting up a strong European network of buyers.

By the mid-19th Century, Alfred and his family had made enough success that they were able to acquire Chateau Paveil, situated in Margaux, a small wine-growing region in Bordeaux. They later also purchased the Domaine de Chaine, a vineyard sprawled across the Grande Champagne region.

In 2006, the brand was purchased by the Boinaud family, one of the oldest and most respected Cognac producing families of the appellation. With their estate, as well as Cognac’s biggest private distillery (including 41 pot stills), the new owners are sure to take De Luze to new heights.
