Gaston de Casteljac Cognac

Gaston de Casteljac Cognac is an artisanal spirit rooted in 18th-century traditions, produced by Bordeneuve Châteaux & Collections in Castelnau d’Auzan, France. Crafted from carefully selected, natural white wines—primarily from Grande Champagne—its eaux-de-vie are slowly distilled without filtration to preserve a rich aromatic profile, then aged in small Limousin and Tronçais oak barrels. Named after a legendary pirate turned vintner, the range spans VS to XO Extra, offering complex flavors like cinnamon, prune, and ginger, with a bold yet balanced palate. Limited to just a few barrels per vintage, its award-winning quality—such as the VSOP’s 2006 silver medal from the Beverage Testing Institute—underscores its status as a privileged taste of cognac’s storied past.
