Prunier Bottle Catalog (last updated: Jan 17, 2021)
334 bottles, but still not complete (only half bottles and up)
Introduction
Prunier is a very old and respected cognac firm. They started their busines in La Rochelle around 1700 as wholesalers, but only since 1769 they began selling cognacs using their own name. In 1850 they moved to Cognac.
As their emblem they have ‘La Vieille Maison’ or ‘La Maison de la Lieutenance’, the oldest existing house in the city of Cognac. This house is in their possession since 1971, but they knew the owners and were allowed to use the house as an emblem on their bottles long before they actually bought the house.
Another trademark that is often used is shown here.
Most of their production consists of blends, but they also have made quite a few vintage cognacs.

Good morning
Very impressed by the Prunier range you have put on line!! how did you get so many different qualities? As you say, the list is not completed, so by the way, do you want to get pictures from us to enlarge your collection?
Again, congratulations on this very good job
Dear mister Burnez,
Thank you very much for your compliments and for taking the time to look at the Prunier catalogue page.
And indeed, I would love to get more pictures. I will send you an e-mail to facilitate this.

I have this old bottle that puts coñac could you give me information about it if you have it
Hello Josep,
That is a rare bottle, and I sure hope Stephane Burnez will give you a response too.
In my opinion this is pre-WW2. I will send you an e-mail.
Sincere regards,
Ton
I have a bottle of Saint Louis 1950 that is 50 years old for sale. What is this bottle worth?
Hello Peter,
I have never seen this bottle before. Is it cognac? I can’t really read what is printed to the left of XO.
Does it have any more information on the back?
Maybe you can send me some more pictures. I will send an e-mail to facilitate.
Regards,
Ton
