Monteru French Brandy
The origins of Monteru date back to the late 1700’s when the descendant of the Count of Monteru moved to the Cognac region and married his daughter to the son of a cognac merchant. Since then, Monteru has remained closely tied to the tradition of brown spirits distillation and has progressively become a reference for super premium brandy but also a leading innovator in the category.
The use of a traditional Charentais copper pot stills gives Monteru extraordinary command over each distillation run, allowing for a wide selection of incredible flavors and aromas, specific to each unique batch of freshly made eau de vie.
Monteru’s Master Distiller skillfully oversees this process manually to ensure that each style of brandy has the desired flavor characteristics, using only the finest wines to craft these elegant and expressive spirits. Each special batch is prepared to lead to an unforgettable experience, gaining even more complexity by aging the eau de vie in carefully chosen rare and specific oak casks.
