François Voyer

Today, Maison François Voyer benefits from Pierre Vaudon's family business, which covers 70 hectares, including 8 hectares of 1er cru Grande Champagne vines around Saint-Même-les-Carrières.

In the commune of Verrières, in Grande Champagne, 1er Cru of Cognac, Maison François Voyer has been cultivating vines and distilling eaux-de-vie for over 200 years.

Today, under the direction of Pierre Vaudon, cellar master and renowned oenologist, the house perpetuates know-how handed down through five generations.

Over the decades, Maison François Voyer has distinguished itself through its unwavering commitment to quality. As early as the late 19th century, Paul André, one of the Rares winegrowers to distill his own production, left a precious legacy, including eaux-de-vie that have received prestigious distinctions. Among them, a gold medal for a brandy over 50 years old at the brandy competition in Segonzac, capital of the Grande Champagne.

The 60s marked a turning point with Guy Chauchet, a fervent advocate of ageing eaux-de-vie, who enriched the house's stocks. It was also the time of the first successful bottlings. The revamping of the range in the 90s heightened connoisseurs' interest in this exceptional terroir.

Today, Maison François Voyer works with numerous winemakers from Grande Champagne to perpetuate the tradition and excellence of... See more ...

Description Francois Voyer Napoléon.

The Chauchet Voyer family has been distilling and aging eaux-de-vie in oak barrels for five generations, concentrating on the Grande Champagne cru where they now own 28 hectares of vines planted mainly with Ugni Blanc. It's this combination of terroir and grape variety that gives our eaux de vie their freshness, minerality and aromatic palette. Complexity comes with ageing. Aging takes place in 2 stages: a 3-year period in cellars Secs, with 20% of the stock in new oak barrels, followed by a long rest in red barrels housed in a damp cellar. The final blend is made up of eaux de vie aged between 12 and 20 years.

This Napoléon offers a beautiful amber color with hints of old gold. The nose opens with soft floral notes of rose, jasmine and carnation, and very quickly switches to richer, fruitier sensations of Ente plum and peach, finishing with warmer aromas of vanilla, nuts and chocolate. The palate is powerful, suave and elegant all at once, with soft fruit, candied citrus, grape Sec enhanced by a delicate woodiness.

This Cognac Napoléon from Maison François Voyer brings roundness and gourmandise to a simple stuffed pigeon or cherry-glazed lamb chops.
