Godet Strana 1 z 1

Although the premium brand of French cognacs Godet has been writing its history since 1782, its roots go even deeper. The first of the Godets, Dutch merchant Bonaventure Godet, arrived in France around 1550. He traded in wine and salt and began experimenting with distilling wine even then. A brand that has been here for almost half a millennium is still in the hands of the Godet family and is one of the last independent producers with a stable position in the global market.

The company is based in the birthplace of cognac, La Rochelle. Godet produces classic cognacs (VS, VSOP, and XO), as well as specialties with names like Gastronome, Folle Blanche, Epicure, and Renaissance. Godet cognac matures in special oak barrels near the Atlantic Ocean, which gives it its specific fullness, while not overpowering the fruity and floral notes in its taste. The cognac is smoother, as the producer allows it to age longer. This is mainly to ensure that its flavor and aroma are more complex and that it melts more intensely on the tongue.
