Menard

Distillerie Ménard is a historic Cognac house in the Grande Champagne region, active since 1660 and officially founded in 1815 in Saint-Même-les-Carrières. The Ménard family cultivates approximately 70 hectares of vineyards in the best plots of the area, producing elegant and refined eaux-de-vie, distilled in Mainxe and aged in Limousin oak barrels. In addition to their own Cognacs (VSOP, XO, Réserve Extra, Ancestrale) and Pineau des Charentes, the distillery supplies part of its production to major houses such as Rémy Martin and Martell. Today, the business remains family-run, managed by Jean-Yves, Philippe, and Stéphane Ménard, the custodians of a centuries-old tradition.
