Philbert Cognac

In Cognac's quiet backyard lies one of the region's best-kept secrets. Philbert has distilled from its own vineyards for over 200 years without ever making noise about it, and the house still operates its own two distilleries in both Grande and Petite Champagne. While the big names fill the duty-free shelves, Philbert prefers to let the cognac speak for itself, year after year, medal after medal.

About Philbert

Philbert is the discreet family house that has distilled cognac from its own vineyards for over 200 years without making a fuss about it. By distilling in-house at the house's two distilleries, in Grande and Petite Champagne respectively, each region's typical character is preserved, a rarity in an industry where many houses buy in ready-distilled eaux-de-vie. For beginners, Philbert offers an authentic, craft-driven entry into cognac outside the shadow of the big brands, while connoisseurs appreciate the house's pioneering work with 'Rare Cask Finish', a concept launched in 2010 that brought single-cask thinking from whisky and rum into the cognac world.

History & Background

The Philbert house was established over 200 years ago in the Cognac region and has held onto a traditional way of working across generations, with most of the process still done by hand. Unusually, the house operates two of its own distilleries, one in Grande Champagne and one in Petite Champagne, meaning Philbert controls the entire process from grape to eaux-de-vie itself and preserves the character of both regions. In 2010, the house launched the concept 'Rare Cask Finish', becoming one of the first in the cognac world to work with single-cask thinking, otherwise far more common in whisky and rum. The result is small-batch production, where traditional expressions like VS, VSOP, and XO are all released as Single Batch, with a marked difference from batch to batch.

Production & Style

The grapes come from the house's own and affiliated vineyards in the Cognac region, and the eaux-de-vie are distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Maturation takes place on French oak casks, following the house's own flavour profile.
