Le Comte Terrasson de Montleau est un escroc qui a fait faillite à PARIS dans le domaine des antiquités, et dont le domaine familial aux Andreaux a été vendu depuis bien longtemps. Ce Comte a un site internet en tout et pour tout n’a plus de terre de vignoble depuis des decennies, c’est un Comte nu qui s’habille avec une feuille de vigne – c’est depuis un Jean Sans tTerre dont la société de cognac est aux champs elysées.Ses pieds de vigne poussent sur le bitume de la plus belle année du monde… cherchez les pieds de vigne ou plutôt le pied de nez quue ce comte nous adresse en tout bien tout honneur. En fait, le Comte est bon, il ne produit rien, il se contente d’acheter du cognac pour le mettre dans des bouteilles pour la décoration – son cognac est introuvable dans les bars, les hôtels petits ou grands, dans les caves et chez tous les distributeurs, c’est un cognac fantome vendu par un fabriquant de flacons qui raconte des histoires à dormir debout sur sa famille en oubliant de parler de lui et qui veut nous endormir avec son coganc – pour résumer le côté “swindle” comme on dit chez nous, vu des US it’s daylight robbery
Hello,
I think you need some context for this cognac: the name “de Montleau” is owned by the familly “de Terrasson de Montleau”, the owner of de Lauriere cognac is issued from the family but doesn’t hold the name anymore because the name was held by the women. The Cognac “Terrasson Comte Gérald de Montleau” is the only right brand when it comes to the heritage of the cognac house from the mid-19th century as its current owner is the little son of the last owner of the brand before it went down. After some in-family clash, the owner of “de Montleau Cognac” stopped producing but for some reason, the website is still active but you can’t buy anything.
The website is of Terrasson Comte Gérald de Montleau is https://www.terrassondemontleau.com/en and the shop is still active.
If you want more information, I am happy to provide
Hello,
I tried to join your addresses found on your site.
No answers at that time even by phone. …
Not very serious.
You are right, it is very difficult to get in touch with them. This is unfortunately, because their Hors d’Age is quite good. I was able to buy a bottle at the cognac expo (Cognac Discover) in the Netherlands.
