Monnet Bottle Catalog (last updated: Mar 29, 2021)
(211 bottles; only regular size bottles from 35cl and up and magnums, no miniatures)
Introduction
The Monnet brand started as Société des Propriétaires Vinicoles de Cognac in 1838 when several independant winegrowers teamed up under the guidance of Pierre-Antoine de Salignac. The United Vineyard Proprietors of Cognac was its name in English. At the end of the century Louis de Salignac and Jean Gabriel Monnet had some serious disagreements which led Salignac to leave the company in 1897. Monnet became the general manager and four years later, after gaining the majority of the shares, the name was changed into J.G. Monnet. On some very old labels you can come across this name: Société des Propriétaires Viticoles de Cognac sous la raison J.G. Monnet (autrefois Salignac & Cie.).
Monnet choose the salamander for his logo, which was the emblem of King François I.
In the 1950s Monnet became official supplier of the Court of Sweden.
In 1962 his son Jean Monnet, well-known politicus and considered to be one of the founding fathers of the European Union, sold his company to Scharlachberg. After being handed down to Asbach & Co. and then Hennessy, Monnet found shelter at Hine, also in possession of Hennessy at that time. Next Hine, including Monnet, is sold to the CL group Trinidad in 2003 and finally to the French Nicolas family in 2013.

Can you please tell me anything about this bottle? I cannot find its match in your monnet-bottle-catalog or anywhere else online.
This one must be the predecessor of the tapered Regal bottles, which are under nr. 9 ‘Limited editions’. So it is from the 1960s, maybe early 1970s. I have not seen this one before, so thank you for bringing it to my attention. The Regal is a young cognac, aged only a few years before being bottled. This looks to be an empty bottle so its worth is not much. If it was a full bottle it would probably sell between €40-60.
I would like to have a better picture of it, so I will mail you and hope you will oblige.
Ton.

Hi,
I don’t have them for sale, sorry.
But now and then they are for sale on Asian auction sites.
Kind regards,
Ton
Thanks for your reply. I got one from auction and I wanted to know the bottling period.
Can you tell me between what years was Anniversaire cognac produced exactly ?
Hi Robert,
Not exactly, no. They were produced in the 1960s and 70s.
