Mestreau Cognac, established in 1808, was a distinguished brand renowned for producing some of the finest cognacs in the industry. By the mid-19th century, Mestreau's spirits had gained popularity in markets such as the United States, England, and Russia. However, the economic challenges following World War I led to the brand's closure in 1919, and it remained dormant for nearly a century.
In recent years, the legacy of Mestreau Cognac has experienced a revival. Guilhem Grosperrin, an expert in sourcing rare and aged eaux-de-vie, acquired the brand and initiated the release of select expressions under the Mestreau label. Notably, the Grosperrin Frédéric Mestreau VSOP Cognac has been introduced, featuring a blend of high-quality eaux-de-vie aged in French oak for a minimum of four years. This expression offers a rich palate with notes of dried fruits, pressed flowers, vanilla, toffee, and mixed spices.
Today, under the stewardship of Grosperrin, Mestreau Cognac continues to honor its storied heritage by offering exceptional spirits that reflect the brand's historical commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
