The name Chatelier is a tribute to the most distant origins of Cognac. The first eau-de-vie of Cognac were created on the west coast of its vineyards, historically it was local monks who developed the art of distillation. In 1166, one of the oldest Cistercian monasteries was founded in the heart of the island, the Île de Ré. Its name: l'Abbaye des Chateliers. This unique place has long been the epicentre of the distillation of wines from the region by these learned monks. This is how Alexandre Gabriel created Claude Chatelier Cognac in 1989. Claude Chatelier Cognacs are distilled in small copper pot stills of 25 hectolitres using age-old, traditional in-house methods. The Cognac is slowly matured in small French oak barrels in cool, damp cellars with beaten earth floors that encourage its subtle transformation. The time-honoured blending skills of the cellar master give this Cognac its outstanding balance. The Claude Chatelier VSOP is aged for over 8 years in Limousin oak barrels.
