Philbert Cognac is a distinguished family-owned house located in the heart of the Cognac region, France. Established in the early 1800s, the estate has been under the stewardship of the Precigout family since 2006. Brothers Xavier and Pierre-Olivier Precigout expanded the family's holdings from 28 to 124 hectares, acquiring prime vineyards in both Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus.
Innovative in their approach, the brothers introduced novel cask-finishing techniques, utilizing re-used Sauternes and Oloroso Sherry casks. This method imparts unique flavor profiles to their cognacs, setting them apart from traditional offerings.
Philbert's portfolio includes expressions such as VS, VSOP, XO, and limited editions like the Rare Cask Finish series. The Dovecote cognac, crafted from a single vineyard plot known for its optimal exposure and clay-limestone soil, exemplifies their commitment to terroir-driven products.
Under the guidance of the Philbert brothers, the house has garnered international recognition, participating in global events across Europe and Asia, including London, Shanghai, and Beijing. Their dedication to quality and innovation ensures that Philbert Cognac continues to thrive, offering exceptional spirits that honor tradition while embracing modernity.
