WV Baker & Cie Cognac

A trading house from the Cognac region that has specialised in exporting French brandy since 1838. For nearly two centuries, the house has blended cognac for international markets without ever owning vineyards of its own. That makes WV Baker & Cie one of the quieter but longer-lived names in Cognac.

About WV Baker & Cie Cognac

WV Baker & Cie is a French trading house from the Cognac region with a long history in exporting French cognac. For newcomers, it's an approachable entry into cognac thanks to its rounded, easy-going style, while for more experienced drinkers it represents one of the classic, family-run négociant traditions that historically carried cognac from the Charente region out to the rest of the world.

History & Background

The house was founded in 1838 and has specialised across generations in blending and exporting cognac to international markets. As a négociant, WV Baker & Cie has historically acted as a link between the local growers and distillers of the Charente region and the överseas markets seeking French brandy. This role as a trading house rather than an independent estate producer has allowed the house to blend cognac from multiple sources, securing a consistent, accessible style year after year.

Production & Style

The cognac is distilled in the classic charentais copper still and then blended into a balanced, accessible style.

Signature Style

Rounded, Fruity, Accessible
The flavor offers a rounded, accessible character with a clear touch of ripe fruit.
