Otard Bottle Catalogue (last updated: July 22, 2021)

(406 bottles, half bottles and up, and 23 magnums; no miniatures)

Introduction

Together with Jean and Léon Dupuy, two land-owners, Jacques Baptiste Otard started this company in 1795 as Dupuy-Otard. Already in 1796 they bought the Chateau de Cognac, former residence and birth place of King François I. This chateau and its heritage features often on the labels of Otard.
Being a Baron himself, Jacques Otard has a coat of arms with the text Fortis et Fidelis, i.e. Strength and Loyalty. This is one of the emblems you can come across on the bottles. Another emblem is the lions head. On older bottles the acronym ODC is often used: Otard Dupuy & Co.
They have been official suppliers to the Russian court and they have advertised it with an embleme on their bottles: ‘by appointment to his late majesty King Alexander I, and his majesty King Peter II‘.
In 1930 the company was taken over by De Ramefort and from 1945 on, when no Dupuy descendant was participating in the management anymore, the name was changed into Otard and in 2011 another name change took place: Baron Otard.

[Otard also produces (and owns) the brands Gaston de Lagrange and d’Ussé. These are not presented here.]

  1. Dear sir, may i know which year is this bottle of Otard V.S.O.P.?

    • Hi Jimmy,

      It is impossible for me to narrow the date down to a specific year, but the drop shaped bottles were produced during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The bottles with short capsules came first, followed by the long capsules, so this probably is a 1990s bottle or later. It looks like there isn´t a lion printed on the glass on shoulder hight. If there isn’t one, then this one is new for me. But if there is, this bottle belongs in section 3d4.
      These VSOP bottles are not expensive. I would say €30-40, sometimes even less in auctions.

      If it has no lion on the shoulder, I would very much like to receive some better photo’s.

      Kind regards,

      PS: I’ll send an e-mail.

  2. Hello,
    Thought you would be interested in seeing this very early Otard bottle probably made for the English or American market. This black glass bottle was made in the 1st quarter of the 19th C, beautiful condition, and, the label is real. I cannot tell the printing method. I think it is hand done with stencil. Dated in ink 1815.Found in an early Period building in Montpellier Vermont thirty years ago. Your system wouldn’t allow an image.

    • Hello Jim,

      My website allows photo’s up to 1Mb. Photo’s can be reduced in size by using programs like Paint.
      But I will send you an e-mail to facilitate sending photo’s to me.
