Since the 17th century, the quays of Cognac and Jarnac bordering the river Charente have been filled with barrels of the most prestigious “aqua vitae” - Cognac.
The Daniel Bouju distillery is located in the beautiful village of Saint Preuil in the heart of the Grande Champagne area (the Premier Grand Cru of Cognac). This Domaine of 14 hectares is totally independent from the big Cognac houses. Its Cognac is made using very small 16-hectolitre stills, which are perfect for making fruity spirits. The Cognac is aged in new oak barrels from Limousin (up to 80 years for the Reserve Familiale), which gives the Bouju Cognac a very aromatic scent, a dark rich colour and a soft taste.
