The Château Montifaud has belonged to the Vallet family for six generations now. The vineyard was created in 1837 by Augustin and has seen the succession of Pierre, Maurice, Louis and Michel. Laurent came to join his father and grandfather in October 2000.
According to the family tradition, when a son joins his father, a part of the cognac distilled in that year is set preciously aside and will only be sold by the future generations.

The vineyard stretches over 75 hectares in the two premier regions of cognac area : In the “Grande” and “Petite Champagne” whose soil contains a very great amount of active limestone. Thanks to this exceptional land, Château Montifaud possesses an extremely high potential for quality.

Twenty-seven to thirty years old. This X.O. includes the 1963, 1965, and 1967 distillations. No excess tannins, so this cognac retains its freshness and delicacy, with mature waves of aromas. Very complex nuances of dry flowers and dry fruits.Hints of nuts and spices.Very soft tanins with an amazing and mellow length on the palate.

“Château de Montifaud is a little gem of a cognac house doing some
delicious and well-crafted cognacs. Their XO is simply exceptional and should definitely be sought out.”
