COGNAC VAUDON XO Fins Bois

It all started in 1771, when Francois Gaborit bequeathed his Mérignac domain and vineyards to his stepson, Pierre Nalbert. For generations, the domain grew and evolved: Denis Nalbert, as early as 1833, described how April frosts, dry spells and hail storms affected harvest. Fast forward to the 20th Century: Denis, then Pierre Mousset planted a large part of today’s vineyards and installed the first 25hl still. The second was installed by Bernard Vaudon. He married Anne-Marie Mousset: the two of them being from vine-growing families, the estate grew again.

Today, Anne-Marie Vaudon and Pierre Vaudon are the custodians of this history and know-how.
