Prince de Didonne

A luxurious and sophisticated XO Cognac in a crystal decanter

The roots of Prince de Didionne Cognac date back to 1847 when Jules Gautret founded the original Cognac trade house in the city of Jonzac in the Haute Saintonge region. A century later, the house was acquired by the Coopérative des Viticulteurs Charentais and later changed its name to UniCognac SA. Today, it’s a subsidiary of the first cooperative group of the Cognac region, Ocealia, and since 2007, the premium Cognac is bottled at a state-of-the-art facility in Saint Germain de Lusigna

The Cognac House enjoys a symbiosis with about 500 Charentais winegrowers who provide it with the best wines, made mainly from grapes from the Petite Champagne, Fins Bois, and Bons Bois terroirs. This way, the costs of production and marketing are lowered for the winegrowers and UniCognac has a steady supply (Their stock of fine XO brandies is the largest in the Cognac region). The high-end Cognacs are finally distilled in UniCognac’s swan-neck Charentais pot stills before being blended by the maître de chai.

Prince de Didonne XO Cognac is crafted from Ugni Blanc grapes from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne terroirs. After it’s double-distilled in a traditional swan neck still and aged in oak casks from the Limousin and Troncais forests, the maître de chai selects Cognacs that are a minimum of 25-years old. This elegant and refined blend comes in a crystal decanter that will make your home bar look like it’s straight out of the Versailles.
