Maxime Trijol

Maxime Trijol Cognac, established in 1859 in Saint-Martial-sur-Né, France, is a family-owned distillery that epitomizes the blend of tradition and excellence in cognac production. Nestled in the heart of the Cognac region, the house cultivates its own Ugni Blanc grapes across Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, overseeing every step from vine to bottle—harvesting, double distillation in 22 copper stills, and aging in French oak barrels. Now led by fifth-generation Jean-Jacques Trijol and his daughters Anne-Sophie and Pauline, Maxime Trijol offers a range from the fruity VS to the award-winning XO Grande Champagne, boasting rich notes of candied fruit and liquorice. With a commitment to quality reflected in accolades like the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold, this independent producer crafts cognacs that balance heritage with a refined, modern palate, appealing to both purists and global enthusiasts.
