CHÂTEAU DE COGNAC TOURS

Welcome

We invite you to discover the Château de Cognac, a historic monument, a witness to French history and the home of BARON OTARD and D'USSÉ Cognacs.

THE CHÂTEAU DE COGNAC

Château de Cognac, overlooking the Charente river, was first a 10th-century fortress designed to stop Norman invasions, then in the 15th century a seigneurial dwelling where one of France's most illustrious kings, François I, was born.

Today, the building is a historic monument and home to BARON OTARD and D'USSÉ Cognacs.
