Cognac Roullet

For almost 250 years, the family's descendants have been creating cognacs of the highest quality under the Roullet brand, passing on their experience and centuries-old traditions from generation to generation.

The history of Cognac Roullet dates from the 18th century to a place called Le Goulet, in the village of Foussignac, located north of Jarnac in the Cognac region. This is where the Roulette family has owned vineyards since 1772 and where Paul Frederick Roulette founded the cognac house in 1780.

Paul Frederick Roulette managed to enter into a close relationship with the Royal Court. It is known that Napoleon Bonaparte became one of the first connoisseurs of the cognac house "Rule". Thanks to these connections, Cognac Roullet survived the French Revolution and received a license from the Republic to distill and supply cognac in 1791. Roullet became one of the suppliers to Napoleon Bonaparte's armies.

The next stage of the company's growth and development dates back to the early 19th century, when Paul Roulette married the daughter of the founder of the cognac house Delamain, the oldest family of cognac producers, still known for the production of beverages. This marriage led to the consolidation of the two houses. For a while, the company was called Roullet & Delamain. Negotiators from Delamain gained access to unique Roullet spirits, and the Roullet family gained experience in choosing cognac spirits, the ripening and blending process, which allows them to create a stock of unique cognacs.

Harmony of soil and grapes

Historically, the vineyards of the cognac house are located in the so-called. Golden triangle of fins Boa, which offers the best soil, containing mostly hard limestone, which provides the opportunity to obtain full and fast-ripening cognacs, with a charming finished fruity taste.

Distillation

For cognac Roullet in Foussignac, only eau-de-vie from its own vintage from the family domain is used. The distillation is performed in two small stills (15 and 18 hectoliters), traditionally handmade from copper.

Aging

Cogniac Roullet has several cellars for aging cognac in barrels. Only high-quality cognacs, XO and HERITAGE (aged for at least 15 years) and RESERVE DE FAMILLE (over 35 years) are aged here. Cognac is aged in French limousine oak barrels located in damp cellars from the time of Henry IV.
