The story begins around 1830 with Augustin VALLET and his vineyard of 3 ha. The property sees successive Pierre, Maurice, Louis and Michel.
It was in December 2000 that Laurent joined his father Michel and his grandfather Louis. Thus, for 6 generations, each generation has been committed to perpetuating the family tradition by remaining faithful to a common vision:
« Remain independent, and develop the excellence of our house »
Independent and owners since 1866, Laurent and Elodie Vallet represent the 6th generation and are the fervent bearers of a singular and authentic history.
They perpetuate the values and traditions inherited from the past while placing innovation at the service of quality.
« Six generations, only one passion since 1866 »
When a son joins his father to work together, a part of the cognac distilled in that year is set preciously aside and will only be sold by the future generations. Thus it is that in the darkness of our « Paradise » cellar lie bottles of cognac skillfully crafted by Pierre and Maurice Vallet.
Our family cellars have also seen the ageing of cognacs that date from 1920 to the present day. A part of these vintages has been sealed by the BNIC (« Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac », the National Interprofessional Authority of Cognac).
« Independent and singular, we are committed to producing haute couture and authentic cognacs. »
