M & I Spirits is an artisanal Cognac producer founded by Mathieu and Isabelle, who are dedicated to blending centuries-old traditions with contemporary influences. Situated in the Grande Champagne region, renowned for its exceptional terroir, M & I Spirits focuses on crafting high-quality Cognac that reflects the unique characteristics of this premier cru.
The estate's vineyards primarily cultivate the Ugni Blanc grape variety, known for its high acidity and suitability for distillation. M & I Spirits employs traditional copper pot stills for distillation, preserving the delicate aromas and flavors of the eaux-de-vie. The aging process takes place in oak barrels sourced from the Limousin and Tronçais forests, allowing the Cognac to develop complexity and depth over time.
One of their notable offerings is the La Collection VSOP Cognac, aged for eight years. This expression presents a harmonious blend of orange peel, pear, and apricot notes, showcasing the house's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
M & I Spirits remains an active and family-owned operation, with Mathieu and Isabelle at the helm, ensuring that each bottle embodies their passion and dedication to the art of Cognac making. Their products are available through select retailers and are appreciated by connoisseurs who seek unique, small-batch Cognac expressions that honor traditional savoir-faire while embracing modern sensibilities.
