Château de Montifaud is a family-owned wine estate located in Segonzac, in the Cognac region of France. Founded in the early 20th century, the château is renowned for its high-quality Cognac spirits, reflecting traditional craftsmanship and the excellence of the Grande Champagne terroir, one of the top crus in the region.
Château de Montifaud Cognacs are primarily crafted from Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes. They are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic complexity, and balance. The cuvées feature aromas of dried fruits, vanilla, honey, and flowers, with subtle notes of spices and oak. On the palate, the Cognacs reveal a velvety texture, aromatic richness, and impressive length. The Château de Montifaud VSOP, for example, is particularly praised for its harmony, depth, and elegance.
The estate follows an artisanal approach to distillation and aging, utilizing traditional methods such as distillation in Charentais stills and aging in oak barrels. Each bottle of Château de Montifaud reflects the excellence of the Grande Champagne terroir, providing a refined and authentic tasting experience.

Last vintage of the 20th century ! 1999 was a tough year for Mother Nature, the Erika tanker was wrecked off the coast of Brittany and Storm Lothar raged in Western Europe. Cognac production was lucky enough to resist this tempest, although the bad weather conditions made it one of the smallest productions of the century, and therefore one of the rarest.
Dudognon Folle Blanche Cognac is made from 100% Folle Blanche grapes. This ancestral grape variety, mainly present in the 19th century in Charente, then ravaged by phylloxera, was reintroduced on the Dudognon estate. This early and sensitive variety requires special attention but brings very fine and persistent aromas.
