UNICOGNAC

In 1847, Jules Gautret established his Cognac trade house in the Haute Saintonge region, in the city of Jonzac. 100 years later, the Union des Coopératives de Charente-Maritime acquired the firm of Jules Gautret. The new entity was known as the Coopérative des Viticulteurs Charentais. In the early seventies, the Cooperative changed its name once again to Unicognac SA. Nowadays, the company is a subsidy of the first cooperative group of the Cognac region, Charentes Alliance. Since 2007, all bottling and packaging is now made at a state-of-the-art facility in Saint Germain de Lusignan, where stringent quality, hygiene, and safety standards are rigorously respected.

Today, nearly five hundred Charentais winegrowers place their trust in SA supplying quality wines to be subtly blended by the cellar master.

The firm sells its various brands, including Jules Gautret, in over forty countries (France, United States, China, United Kingdom…). Unicognac has its own distillery housing sixteen pot stills, as well as ten ageing cellars filled with oak barrels.
