Summary
Epitomizing the true spirit of a micro-artisan Cognac house, Bourgoin is all about a true passion for their land and vines, through an honest, transparent distillation of their terroir. The family estate is currently led by Frédéric Bourgoin, the fourth generation of a family of grape growers and Cognac distillers from the village of Tarsac in Fins Bois, approximately 30 kilometers east of the town of Cognac. This commitment to authenticity and transparency invariably leads to some variation from bottle to bottle, or year to year, which though it is uncommon in Cognac, is familiar to drinkers of many agricultural spirits like agricole-style rhum or mezcal. Bourgoin Cognac’s resistance to blending is a style in and of itself, and a defining quality of their decidedly viticultural cognac. The Bourgoin family is serious about their Cognac, but they also see their spirits as a labor of love and joy as the primary tenet of life.
“BOURGOIN COGNAC is a true vigneron’s Cognac: no blending, no added color, no filtration, and no sulfites. Our cognacs are sincere and genuine. I will give you no long speeches: the truth is at the bottom of the bottle. There, you will find the emotion of a real cognac. Receive this punch like a gift. Dizziness or light stupor, you will not return unscathed.” – Frédéric Bourgoin
