An exceptional estate in the heart of Grande Champagne area

In Juillac Le Coq, the terroir on which is located our family estate since 1860, the “Domaine Du Foucaudat”, gives our “eaux-de-vie” the prestigious Cognac Grande Champagne appellation, a token of fineness and aromatic complexity. The secret of our most refined Cognac lies in the uniqueness of this land which we always considered as our most precious treasure.

PASQUINET art of living

The PASQUINET art of living is about making the savoring of the finest delicacies become exceptional moments, to be shared with special people. As such, Cognac tasting is an art to be perceived as a voyage of the senses where the marks of time get revealed through a succession of aromas and gustatory sensations, letting the taster have a glimmering of the personality of this exceptional product and of the people who crafted it.

Perpetuating the family’s values

For four generations our family perpetuates the art of making the Cognac PASQUINET, an authentic and ancestral know-how transmitted with passion from father to son. Each generation has been led by a creative essence and a deep admiration for its land, giving PASQUINET Cognac a timeless and inimitable strength.
