Dobbé distillery is located in Salignac-sur-Charente, a small village near
Cognac,
France. The House of Dobbé is known for its strong values guided by generations who love the land. It was established around
1787 when the family’s ancestors acquired a few acres of vines.
Their passion for Wine grew with time, and so did their
Cognac producing skills. The distillery is still a family-owned operation and the tradition has been kept intact for
8 generations.
Today, the eight generation has managed to combine tradition and modernity whilst continuing to produce their signature and prestigious
Dobbé Cognacs.
The family manages
every step of the Cognac production process from tending to their land and grape, right down to the marketing of the final product.
Their estate extends mainly over the
Petite Champagne area, one of the largest and most distinguished crus, known for
chalky soil, which is much more compact than the one from the Grande area, resulting in Cognac that is not too floral and slightly less subtle.
Funny how this area is called Petite, when in fact, it spans over more acres than the Grande Champagne.
The family's vineyards cover
35 hectares of the estate, two-thirds of which are located on the sunny hills of Petite Champagne cru, the remaining in the Fins Bois cru, on the banks of the Charente river.
The majority of their vineyards are planted with
Ugni Blanc grapes, which produces
fruity and
delicate Cognacs.
