Maison Surrenne Cognac Borderies

A rich, floral, and fruit-forward Cognac made the old way.

Maison Surrenne is a collaboration between the wizards at Craft Distillers and the “largest remaining family-owned producer” of Cognac in France. We assume that there is a good reason for the secrecy. As we’ve said before, Craft Distillers works closely with a tight-knit group of industry veterans to mix and marry the products that they produce in their Distillerie Gatauld with other bits and pieces. To say that they have a long history of building successful products and brands is an understatement.

The Maison Surrenne Cognac line has nine offerings from four family distilleries, the primary one being on the bans of the Charente River in Jarnac, France — just a few miles East of the town of Cognac. But Maison Surrenne Cognac Borderies is not a blend and we can pinpoint it’s production to the Galtaud Distillery in the village of Mainxe. They have been making the finest Cognac in a single still at this historic landmark for well-over 200 years. This exceptional Cognac has been rated 96-100 points by Wine Enthusiast, was dubbed “Cognac of the Year” by Wine and Spirits magazine, and been awarded 5 Stars by the Spirit Journal.
