The Origin
In 1893 Jean Baptiste Peyrot first started caring for the Peyrot vineyard, which has since become known as ‘Les Bergeronnettes’. His daughter, Mathilde Peyrot-Barret took charge of the humble seven-acre vineyard in 1956, and distilled this cognac in 1961. It spent 64 long years maturing in a French oak cask, prior to being bottled at cask strength.
Cognac Peyrot remains family owned, and they continue to create cognac from the same plot their grandfather cared for 130 years ago.
Known in other parts of the world as Trebbiano, originally a grape varietal from Italy. Ugni Blanc makes up approximately 98% of Cognac vineyards and is favoured due its high yield. It is well known for its long ageing potential and light floral profile.
Peyrot’s plantation of St Emilion grapes dates back to 1928, planted between World War 1 and World War 2.
