Baron Otard Cognac - Royal pleasure from the Château de Cognac
Founded in 1795 by Jean-Baptiste Antoine Otard, a French nobleman who acquired the Château de Cognac, Baron Otard stands for the highest quality Cognac. The Château, once the birthplace of King François I, offers ideal conditions for the maturation of fine eaux-de-vie with its thick walls and constant climatic conditions.
Region & origin
The grapes come from the renowned crus of the Cognac region, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Borderies. The combination of these terroirs gives Baron Otard's Cognacs their characteristic depth and complexity.
Production & craft
Distillation is carried out traditionally in copper stills. The eaux-de-vie are then matured in French oak barrels in the damp cellars of the Château de Cognac, which gives them an exceptional aroma and softness.
