France
Founded in 1767 by Louis Coutanseaux, a cooper passionate about woodworking and developing highly sought-after expertise in barrel-making, the house of Coutanseaux Aîné embodies French luxury. Its craftsmanship in selecting the finest woods quickly made it a reference in the world of Cognac. It soon became the official supplier to the most prestigious Cognac houses of the time. The house is shaped by its family heritage, which has been passed down with passion through several generations. A Cognac house exclusively located in Grande Champagne, it stands for excellence and exclusivity. It unveils exceptional Cognacs crafted from the very old eaux-de-vie reserve of the Frerejean Taittinger family and offers the rarest and most coveted expressions: XO, XXO, and Hors d'Âge. In 2015, descendants of Pierre Taittinger, Guillaume and Rodolphe Frerejean Taittinger, revived the house of Coutanseaux Aîné, with a well-rooted heritage, offering exceptional Cognacs. "Coutanseaux Aîné, creator of emotion since 1767."
