Favraud was founded in 1858 by Jean Favraud. There is a document from 1886 stating that he had his establishment in Vinerville, near Beauvais-sur-Matha. In that same year he bought the beautiful Chateau de Souillac in Jarnac. They have been suppliers to the court of His Majesty the King of Sweden and won international awards in London, Milan and Paris in the early 20th century.
They often promoted their cognacs with the slogan ‘Le marque du chateau’.
The brand was bought by Philippe de Castaigne in 1985, then owned by Philip Vallantin Dulac. Around 2000 it was produced by Distilleries de Matha and around 2012 Les Vignobles Reunis (Ladoga Group) took controle of the brand.
They have been producing bottles of Favraud until the 2020s.
Favraud has made wonderful cognacs in the past.

Hello,
I have a bottle of the family reserve 1804 and am curious as to the value. It resembles the picture you have on this website. I do have a leather satchel but no paperwork to authenticate the bottle.
If required I can send photographs and details such as weight and measure. Thank you in advance.
I have seen an asking price of £35,998.50. You probably have seen that too.
But that would be much higher than I would estimate for a genuine bottle. My estimation would be half of that at most, if and only if it would be a genuine bottle.
And I have serious doubts regarding the bottle on the webpage. But I would be interested in seeing some photo’s.
