The history
of Moisans

For us, cognac is a family affair. We are proud to share our world, where the exceptional, beautiful, and unique come together to give rise to deep emotion, revelation, and discovery.

Cognac MOISANS

Our family history is rooted in the land and its vines, beginning with the acquisition of the Moisans estate. To make characterful cognacs faithful to our family tradition, we believe that the terroir is important, the vineyard is essential, and the care given to our wines is absolutely crucial

In the 1960s, the founder Roland Bru created the Distillerie des Moisans and bought his first vines. He followed in the footsteps of his father-in-law, Georges Guimard who was from a large family in Angoulême. Like Bru in his time, Guimard traveled the world after the First World War.

Production

Our aging cellars are semi-underground or built into the side of a hill. Inside are more than 1,300 casks containing 350 liters of our precious eau-de-vie, as well as around fifty Limousin oak barrels of 350 to 520 hectoliters each.

Our Cellar Master David Florac plays with different methods of distillation and maturation, blending several eaux-de-vie to create well-balanced compositions that become the identity, signature, and crown jewels of the Cognac MOISANS brand.
