Witness to the History of France and House of Cognac. Architectural masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance inspiration, the Château de Cognac opens its doors and lets discover its history and some of the secrets of the elaboration of its Cognacs.
The Château Royal de Cognac overlooking the Charente river was first a 10th century fortress intended to stop the Norman invasions, then in the 15th century a stately home where one of the most illustrious kings of France, François I was born.
Baron Otard, who had founded his Cognac House in 1795, quickly understood to what extent the thickness of the walls offered exceptional and unique conditions for the aging of his eaux-de-vie. He then acquires the Castle, thus saving it from total destruction.
The Château de Cognac, which has become a historic monument, is today a Cognac House. We offer different visits, all at the heart of two stories: the history of France and that of Cognacs Baron Otard & d'Ussé.
