Cognac: information on all major brands

Brand information of active cognac producers

Active brands, definition. I consider brands to be active if they still existed at the time I started taking an interest in cognac, which was in 1980. If they had stopped then, I categorised them under 'brands that have disappeared'.

All cognac producers are presented on the map: (legend: red star: cognacfirm; red diamond: secondairy location of a cognacfirm; green drop: bouilleur de Cru grande champagne; yellow drop: bouilleur de cru petite champagne; purple drop: bouilleur de cru borderies; orange drop: bouilleur de cru fins bois; brown drop: bouilleur de cru bons bois; gray-brown: bois ordinaires; blue drop: bouilleur de cru more than one cru; circle: cognacfirm, distillery or bouilleur on which not a lot of information is available)

Of all the major brands a description is made. Just find the brand name in the following list and click on the link. (Work in progress, more brands will be added.)

The names of producers in subjoined list are represented on the map by a circle or a little dot. Of these producers not much more information is available.

  Hello Jukka,
  
  Thanks for sending these beautiful photos. You probably saw my Tables Page. Combeau and Royon were not new to me, you can find them in the relevant tables. The Abel Longuet (not Lonquet) and Larcher Père & Fils Jeune are new to me and I have added them in the tables. The name on the bottle of Vieux Cognac is indeed difficult to decipher. Is it perhaps MHA Brosé?
  I have added the bottle of De Luze to the catalogue page. Can you tell me what the contents are? From the looks of it, it could be a magnum. Or is it 70-75 CL?
  
  Thanks again.
  Hope to hear form you.
  Ton

我希望能介绍一下干邑品牌“Marett&Co.”的历史，怎么找不到？

  I would be interested to see more information about Marett. They were established in 1822 and are now owned by Prunier, but that is all that I know.

  Beautiful collection!
  Most of the names I have listed in a table, but there is probably not much information about them in the table. You can find them if you use the search box, just below the flags.
  James Duret: I only know Jules, Gustave and Simon Duret.
  F. Marion & Co: they were distillers in St. Jean d’Angely.
  Philip Richard was a producer also in St. Jean d’Angely. But there were a lot of producers with the name Richard….
  Henry: I know Henry Tytell & Fils, veuve Henry & Fille, Roger Henry and Jules Henry & Co.
  Claude Durand was in Montchaude and there also existed a Durand Frères.
  Regnier Frères, now belongs to Cointreau.
  Veuve Brillet is now J.R. Brillet, still existing.
  Lenouveau and Guilbert, never heard of before.
  Bartollet was taken over by Pellisson.
  Jules Fournier, he was a merchant in Chateauneuf-su-Charente. But there was also a Fournier-Demars in St. Amand and there was a Veuve Fournier & Co. who was taken over by Lhéraud.
  
  A propos: I would very much like to have a photo of that old martell bottle with the dark label, if that is not to much to ask?
