Cognac Philbert
Brothers Xavier and Pierre-Olivier Precigout took over the running of the family estate in 2006.
Xavier and Pierre-Oliver
The estate was established in the early 1800’s and by the time the brothers took over, the vineyard holding stood at 28 hectares.
Under their control they added to the landholding purchasing vineyards in prime locations in Grand and Petite Champagne as well as developing the bottle range.
They went against the mainstream way of thinking to produce cognacs of character and were the first in the Cognac region to use a rare cask finish in re-used Sauternes and Olorosso Sherry casks.
The name Philbert is taken from their grandmother’s side of the family. The brothers practice the art of distillation and ageing to offer you a different aesthetic experience from the classics of VS, VSOP and XO to the single vineyard vintage and cask finished expressions.
Fearlessness and innovation drive them forward working with nature. From the vine stock to the raw materiel they ensure only the very best cognacs are produced and bottled under the Cognac Philbert label.
COGNAC PHILBERT RANGE
Cognac Philbert VS
Bright amber with a buttery yellow gloss. Very attractive nose opens with lime blossom followed by a range of citrus fruits. Wonderful complexity on the nose, exuberant citrus aromas which blend with creamy vanilla. Some spice, a touch of honey and vanilla on the palate. Gentle edge of citrus leads into a lively finish with a clean pear driven flavor.
Cognac Philbert XO
Inviting nose with hints of honey and a touch of fudge. Deep, rich, full flavored on the palate with fine oak texture. Long, well sustained finish containing hints of honey and ripe fruit with fine floral notes.
Cognac Philbert Distiller Petite Champagne
Xavier distills in Etriac. Wines are carefully racked to obtain as much purity as possible. No lees are used for these very delicate cognacs with fruity and floral aromas.

Sauternes Cask Finish
We reinterpret the ageing process. Finishing in Sauternes casks brings a fullness to our cognacs with notes of honey and orange.
Cognac Philbert VSOP
Attractive fruity and floral nose with spicy hints and a light mineral touch. Some beautiful mature notes round off the nose. Hints of candied fruit, apple, and dried fig. Beautiful balance and fine oak support. Rich, yet dry and elegant.
Cognac Philbert Dovecote
Crafted from the land We created Dovecote from rich fragrant fruits for a hearty cognac made from eaux-de-vie blended in oak casks and produced from a single area of vineyard. On a hilltop (the plot with the dovecote) is the ideal exposure for the fruit to reach optimal maturity and where the clay-limestone soil assimilates water regularly in summer.
Cognac Philbert Distiller Grande Champagne
Pierre-Olivier distills in Touzac. Using fine lees from the Grande Champagne area gives these cognacs robustness and complexity with spicy and bakery notes.

Sherry Olorosso Cask Finish
We reinterpret the ageing process. Finishing in Oloroso Sherry casks enriches our cognacs with new aromas. Toasted walnuts, almonds and red berries come to the fore.
