Cognac Gautier
Cognac Gautier's story begins in the 16th century, but it was officially founded only in 1755 when the family obtained a Royal Warrant to produce Cognac and a founding charter signed by the king Louis XV.
The Cellars were installed in the former watermill in Aigre, on the Osme river, nicknamed the “Little Venice” of Charente.
History
The story begins in the 16th century, when the Gautier family made casks using wood from the Tronçais forest, famous for the quality of its oaks.
In 1644 Charles Gautier married Jacquette Brochet, a wine-maker's daughter. From 1700 their grandson, Louis Gautier, developed the trade in Cognac. He helped expand the market and contributed to the considerable growth of Maison Gautier.
In 1755, the family obtained a Royal Warrant to produce Cognac and a founding charter signed by the king Louis XV. Maison Gautier was born, and the winery was installed in the former watermill in Aigre.
The heirs of Maison Gautier succeeded each other in turn over 10 generations, developing the family business.
In 1995, Gautier joined the group Marie Brizard & Roger International, which was in turn purchased by the Belvedere Group in 2006.
