The history of Cognac Roullet dates back to the 18th century to a place called Le Goulet, in the village of Foussignac, located north of Jarnac in the Cognac region. This is where the Roullet family had owned vineyards since 1772, and where Paul Frederic Roullet founded the cognac house in 1780.

Paul Frederic Roullet managed to establish close ties with the Royal Court. It is known that Napoleon Bonaparte became one of the first connoisseurs of the "Roullet" cognac house. Thanks to these connections, Cognac Roullet survived the French Revolution and received the Republic's license for distillation and supply of cognac in 1791. Roullet became one of the suppliers to Napoleon Bonaparte's armies.

The next stage of the company's growth and development is associated with the beginning of the 19th century, when Paul Roullet married the daughter of the founder of the Delamain cognac house, the oldest family of cognac producers, still known for producing beverages. This marriage led to the consolidation of the two houses. For some time, the company was called Roullet & Delamain. Delamain negotiators gained access to unique Roullet spirits, and the Roullet family gained experience in selecting cognac spirits, the process of aging and blending, which allowed them to create a stock of unique cognacs.

A harmony of soil and grape

Historically, the vineyards of the cognac house were located in the so-called Golden Triangle of the Borderies Fins Bois, which offers the best soil, predominantly hard limestone, providing the opportunity to produce full-bodied and rapidly maturing cognacs, with a charming, finished fruity taste.

Distillation

For Roullet Cognac in Foussignac, only eaux-de-vie from their own family domain's harvest are used. Distillation is carried out in two small alembic stills (15 and 18 hectoliters), traditionally handmade from copper.

Aging

Cogniac Roullet has several cellars for aging cognac in barrels. Only high-quality cognacs, XO and HERITAGE (aged at least 15 years), as well as RESERVE DE FAMILLE (over 35 years) are aged here. The cognac is aged in French Limousin oak barrels, located in humid cellars dating back to the time of Henry IV.
