François Voyer Ancestral n°9

In the commune of Verrières, in Grande Champagne, 1er Cru of Cognac, Maison François Voyer has been cultivating vines and distilling eaux-de-vie for over 200 years.

Today, under the direction of Pierre Vaudon, cellar master and renowned oenologist, the house perpetuates know-how handed down through five generations.

Over the decades, Maison François Voyer has distinguished itself through its unwavering commitment to quality. As early as the late 19th century, Paul André, one of the Rares winegrowers to distill his own production, left a precious legacy, including eaux-de-vie that have received prestigious distinctions. Among them, a gold medal for a brandy over 50 years old at the brandy competition in Segonzac, capital of the Grande Champagne.

The 60s marked a turning point with Guy Chauchet, a fervent advocate of ageing eaux-de-vie, who enriched the house's stocks. It was also the time of the first successful bottlings. The revamping of the range in the 90s heightened connoisseurs' interest in this exceptional terroir.

Today, Maison François Voyer works with numerous winemakers from Grande Champagne to perpetuate the tradition and excellence of its Cognacs. The eaux-de-vie are carefully blended by Pierre Vaudon. Distributed in over 30 countries around the world, François Voyer Cognacs have also earned a place on the menus of the finest restaurants. Medals won at prestigious international competitions testify to the reputation of the house's eaux-de-vie.

Pierre Vaudon took over the brand in 2017. He continues to keep the family heritage alive, preserving the values of hard work and perfectionism handed down by his ancestors. The house remains true to its vision: to offer ever more aromatically ambitious Cognacs from Grande Champagne, to accompany its consumers' finest moments and earn their loyalty, while respecting the generations who built this exceptional heritage.
