The History


Experience cognac as it was 200 years ago. Our Sazerac de Forge & Fils is named in honor of our roots. Bernard Sazerac de Forge founded a cognac house in France in 1782. The Sazerac Company recently returned to Cognac and acquired Domaine Sazerac de Segonzac in order to produce our own “Finest Original” cognac. Like Bernard Sazerac de Forge, whose brandies were enjoyed all over the world from the 17th to the 19th centuries, we are bringing fine cognac to the 21st century.

This product is available in limited quantities.

Tasting Notes


Rich and floral, it is distinctly creamy in texture, showing hints of exotic spice on the palate, with a long, soft finish and a hint of natural sweetness.

The Sazerac de Forge & Fils “Finest Original” Cognac blend includes cognacs made from a number of old and rare native grape varieties. This gives us the unique opportunity to enjoy cognac as it was 150 years ago, prior to the Phylloxera epidemic that forever changed the cognac-making process. Blended with cognacs that have aged between seven and fifty years, our cognac is complex, full of character and inevitably produced in very small quantities. It will be a challenge to find around the world, but well worth the search.

  • The complex aroma is of yellow stone-fruits, dried flowers, citrus peel and warm spice.

  • Silky, creamy textures of flavor are of dried fruits, pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon.

  • The finish has soft oaky tannin notes with vanilla and black peppercorn.

“After much searching to find stocks of the rare old French grape varieties, we have returned to making cognac like the original Sazerac de Forge blends of the 1800s. We can now rediscover the taste of cognac as it was almost 200 years ago.”
