Jean Fillioux Cognac/ Visit May 2007



"Cognac is the best brandy that money can buy", I am sure that eveybody heard about this sentence. It is true but especially when savoir-faire and passion are added to it.





In May 2007, I had the privilege to taste and visit during an entire day the house of Jean Fillioux located in Juillac-Le-Coq (heart of Grande Champagne estate) with Mrs. Monique Fillioux (above) and her son Christophe (below) who recently joined the family business.








The house of Jean Fillioux belongs to a select group of traditional family estates who have successfully defended their upper quality niche over several decades by producing consistently authentic Cognacs that rest on century-old traditions, patience and love to become the masterpieces true connoisseurs appreciate.

What I can say, the house of Jean Fillioux has not simply been producing Cognacs since 1880 from Grande Champagne 1st cru of cognac region but it is the cognac for connoiseurs only!!!

I would like to thank you again for sharing your philosophy and your passion during my visit.
Cheers! Michel
