0. Introduction to emblems:

Very early they started using the name and emblem ‘gold leaf’ for their bottles. I have seen an advertisement in the Hobart Town Daily Courier from 1856 were Denis and Mounié’s celebrated gold leaf was mentioned. The first use of this emblem probably dates back from 1850, fourteen years prior to the registration of the first name and logo by Hennessy. The gold leaf was mostly used to indicate their lowest grade of cognac, but the image was also used as an adornment on bottles of higher quality. It has been used right up to the end of Denis and Mounié’s existence in the 1990s.

By appointment to the Late King George V written on a gold coloured grape leaf.  Suppliers of fine cognac cince 1838 written on a grape leaf

In 1908 they were appointed supplier to the Royal Court of King Edouard VII. The brand Edward VII was created in honour of this occasion. The Royal appointment was continued by George V. This was used on their bottles. First as ‘Appointment to the H.M. King George V’ and after his dead (1936) as ‘By appointment of the Late King George V’.

 By appointment to the Late King Edouard VII on a banner and with their coat of arms  By appointment to H.M. King George V on a banner and with their coat of arms  By appointment to the Late King George V on a banner and with their coat of arms

And some other recurrent emblems used on the main label:

Suppliers of fine cognac since 1838 on a banner and with a grape leaf  Suppliers of fine cognac since 1838 on a banner and with their coat of arms Tradition Qualité and a grape leaf; used on three stars quality bottles

Different neck emblems; they exist in different colours:

ER probably stands for Edouard Roi; used on Edouard VII bottles (I have heard of another possible meaning of ER: Elizabeth Reign) GR stands for Grande Réserve; used on Edouard VII bottles DM below a crown; used on Edouard VII bottles; DM: Denis-Mounié DM on a grape leaf; DM: Denis-Mounié; used on Edward VII and several other bottles Just DM; used on Edward VII bottles DM between the Royal lions Royal coat of arms and 'By Appointment'; used on Edouard VII bottles Extra; used on Edouard VII bottles and Extra bottles Three stars; used on Gold Leaf VSP; used on gold leaf (Very Soft Pale) Three stars and DM under a crown; used on gold leaf bottles VSOP below the coat of arms

1. Gold Leaf

Gold Leaf has been used by Denis-Mounié from 1850. So their very first bottles could very well have been Gold Leaf’s too. It is used to indicate their lowest quality of cognac, comparable with three stars and VS.
1a. Gold Leaf cognaçaises (all have also three stars):

Possibly 1930s; appointed to the Late King .... (Edouard VII) Denis-Mounié; gray-green colour of the label; old type capsule With a brown coloured leaf (est. 1950s) With Denis-Mounié & Co in red on the neck and low on the bottle; Gold Leaf no. 1 Monopoly (est. pre-WWII) With Denis-Mounié & Co in red on the neck; Gold Leaf no. 1 Monopoly By appointment to the late King Gerge V; expedié sous acquit regional (estim. 1940s) J.

1c. straight bottles with a big gold leaf:

three stars on the leaf; suppliers of fine cognac; imported by Soffiantino, Genova; 75cl (1960s) three stars on the leaf; suppliers of fine cognac, with 70 proof stated (the blob emblem with 'DM' on it has fallen off) three stars on the leaf; suppliers of fine cognac, without 70 proof stated (1960s) Three stars on the neck.

  1. Hi, I have a bottle of Gold Leaf Cognac similar to one in your photos. I am hoping you can tell me its value? It’s in good condition. Serial number is 250591833. I am unable to send you a photo because the file says it’s too large.
    Can you please send me an email that can except larger files?

    Thank you,
    Cynthia

    • The photo is too small to be able to read the label. It looks like an ‘Extra’. There are not many extra’s around. A normal price would be around €200-300, but these days prices in auctions are going through the roof. So €400-500 could be possible if enough bidders are interested.
      Good luck.

    • The only gift box I’ve seen auctioned off was along with a bottle of Edward VII. That didn’t bring much (35 pounds). And I saw one single glass go for 25 pound. There’s just not that much interest in it, but you never know. You have to have a little luck with those things. I also wouldn’t be surprised if 100 pounds were offered for it.

    • Hi Radka,

      The photo is too small to see any details.
      I’ll send you an e-mail and maybe you could send the photo in a bigger format?

      Sincere,
      Ton

  2. Greetings. An uncle of my has bought quite a few bottles and one of them was the one in the attached photos which i can’t seem to add. There is no date on the bottle and we can’t seem to find a price for them. Can you help me identify this bottle? Kind regards

  3. Hi,
    I wonder if you could help. I have this little bottle ( flask) of Denis Mounié cognac . We found it hidden in an very old wardrobe of a house we are renovating from 1705 and I am so curious to find out the year it was produced. Could it be after around 1860
    Many thanks, much appreciated
    Stephen

    • Hi Stephen,

      I estimate this bottle from the 1950-60s. During that periode this kind of bottles were made by several brands.
      I guess it is 20-3ocl or thereabout? I would say this is worth €40-50 if filled with the original cognac. I am not familiar with the worth of empty bottles.

      Regards,
      Ton

  4. Hello, I have a Denis Mounie Cognac Edward VII in magnum but I am struggling to date it and estimate its value. Would you be able to help me please? Amongst your images I found the resembling neck emblem, but I don’t find the right combination with the main emblem. I attached a photo of the bottle. Thanks!

    • The photo is very small. If I send you an e-mail, could you send a better picture? Maybe one of the whole bottle (including the top) and one where you can see the shoulder emblem?
      Looks like the same shoulder emblem as the first bottle at 8.2 but I am not sure.
      I would guess this bottle to be probably 1940s-50s.
      Regards,
      Ton

  5. Hello I have multiple bottles of grande champagne extra denis-mounie y dont know the year of the bottles but it is one of the bottles in the 9.1 extra segment, could you tell me the value of the bottles please.
    Thanks

    • Hi Santiago,

      Very difficult to say in todays market, but if in good condition and proper filling level they sell easily for €300. Sometimes people are prepared to go even much higher (even double that). You have to be a bit lucky to find people to bid against each other in an auction.

      Good luck,
      Ton

  6. Hi

    I have a DM miniature that is at least 60 years old unopened. It’ belonged to my great grandmother and has always been kept by a member of the family. It has a black wax seal. I’m unable to attach photos as the files are too large but if you respond I can reply with them.

    I’m hoping you may be able to date it for me.

    Kind regards
