It is hard to find reliable information on the CCG-groupe.
The activities of CCG are divided over Saintes (original residence of Rouyer-Guillet), Cognac (original residence of Meukow and Foucauld) and Matha (original residence of Brugerolle).
Their head-quarters are in Rue Pascal Combeau in Cognac. These premisses were built by Jules Duret around 1860 en passed on to Lucien Foucauld in 1885.

Meukow is their premium brand. Brugerolle comes second and specializes in older cognacs. Foucauld is mainly used for supermarkets.
