Une Nouvelle Vague réveille le cognac

Les Français boudent le cognac – à moins que ce ne fût l’inverse –, avec un acharnement appliqué dont tout le monde s’accommode puisque 98% de la production charentaise est exportée. Mais voilà que 5 petites maisons indépendantes ont décidé de mettre fin à la brouille… Ils sont cinq. Quatre hommes et une femme, cinq jeunes producteurs représentant autant de petites maisons indépendantes. Et, parce que l’union fait la force, ils viennent de se rassembler au sein du collectif « Cognacs : La Nouvelle Vague », fer de lance prêt à partir sabre au clair à l’assaut d’un vaste marché extrêmement prometteur (inspirez) : la France (expirez).

BETWEEN INNOVATION AND SACRILEGE, THE HEART OF COGNAC LIES IN THE BALANCE

Cognac maintains its right to innovation yet defends the strict specifications of this appellation tooth and nail. Between the code of good practice on the one hand and competitiveness on the other, producers are undecided. How can they innovate at the heart of the most famous AOC in France? In 2015, Pierre-Olivier and Xavier, producers in the Grande and Petite Champagne regions, were the first to dare to finish their cognac in re-used casks which previously held Sauternes and Oloroso Sherry.

Born in Cognac - Nouvelle vague

Cognac Philbert launches with 4 other cognac houses : La Nouvelle Vague (Cognac Fougerat Fanny, Cognac Planat, Distillerie Merlet & Fils et A. de Fussigny Cognac).

We have a real desire to stand out by continuing this alternative approach. The fact that we are part of a group that wishes to promote this state of mind gives credibility to our commitment to the renewal of the Cognac appellation (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac).

The new wave fits in with our values. We offer a craft cognac, entirely made locally in our two production sites. We keep the imprint of a queenly nature in our brand, the authenticity of the land of Cognac. It is also a cognac in our image, resolutely contemporary, anchored in a young lifestyle made in France: a masculinity assumed between outdoor sports, electronic music, cocktail bars and design. We value our artisanal work in a very fashionable vintage imaginary.
