Founded in 1731, Maison Bertrand is the fruit of a veritable family saga rooted in the history of the Charente vineyards.
Located in Petite Fine Champagne, Premier Cru de Cognac, the family business traces its origins to the acquisition of the Bel Air mill in the Réaux commune by the Bertrand ancestors, who were millers and winemakers at the time. Passed down from generation to generation, the winegrowing tradition developed over the centuries, along with the distillation of Charentais wines, which took off in the 16th and 17th centuries.
At the end of the 19th century, the first black-and-white photographs immortalized the faces of Alcide, Pauline, Germain and Claude Bertrand, testifying to the unbreakable bond between the family and its vines.
In 1949, Raymond Bertrand married Simone Vallet, herself descended from a line of winegrower-distillers from Jarnac-Champagne.

This Cognac VSOP is made exclusively from the vines of the Bertrand family Domaine, located in the heart of the Petite Fine Champagne terroir. This cru, renowned for its rich limestone soils and montmorillonite clays, provides the vines with an ideal environment for producing top-quality eaux-de-vie. Bertrand VSOP is a blend of 10-year-old eaux-de-vie, distilled in small quantities from ugni blanc and coLombard grapes, before being aged in French oak barrels from the Limousin and Tronçais forests.
On the nose, this Cognac reveals delicate fruit aromas, subtle woody and caramel notes, and an elegant floral touch. On the palate, it's well-balanced and round, with a complexity of aromas that's not overpowering, making it ideal for drinking neat or on the rocks.
