Experience Details

Good morning ! My name is Frédéric Bourgoin. I define myself as a terroirist winemaker and alchemist on the run. My 25 ha vineyard in “Organic Agriculture” conversion is located near Angoulême (Charente, France). The Bourgoin family wine adventure began in 1930 but bottled marketing is much more contemporary: 11/21/2015. Today my bottles are present on more than 150 Michelin-starred restaurants in France (and at the Elysée!). My natural cognacs are: unassembled, unsweetened, without added colorings, and unfiltered. Both young and authentic, my winemaking approach to the cognac category is unique in Charente. Come meet me, the truth is at the bottom of the bottle! 4 people minimum for any reservation.

Sample Menu

STARTER

MAIN
COGNAC XO HIGH TIDE 2012 43%
The innovation consists of moistening the cognac with a little seawater during aging in order to reduce it to 43% vol.
DESSERT

BOURGOIN PINEAU is a mistelle of ugni blanc grape juice and xo cognac.
