A region-by-region selection of the best that French drinks has to offer!
Bonjour Drinks, created by the team at Cognac Expert is a curated collection of France's best spirits. We've explored each of France's regions to bring you unique, top-quality bottles of France's finest spirits. This project began with our blog, Cognac Expert, in 2010 which has since grown into a successful e-commerce business. As farmers and Cognac enthusiasts, our travels around France inspired us to expand beyond Cognac. Bonjour Drinks is our way of sharing the diverse and fascinating spirits of France - our hommage to France and French drinks.
Our keen focus is to tell the story of small authentic French Drinks producers. We want to showcase their production, but we also want to crack the door open into their universe: they're domaines, the history, the vines, distillation, aging and of course tasting.

Deep golden colour with amber nuances. Sweet, fruity nose on dried fruits and flowers, also some heather-honey. Citrus, honey, sweet pears on the palate, freshness of mint - very fine. The finish is medium to long on older sweet wine together with herbal tones.
Pure ugni blanc here. This baby has just been released, but we know that Pouchégu—another now-defunct estate—produced magnificent things, so it’s almost as if we already knew what to expect in our wee tasting glass. Colour: red amber. Nose: very well integrated, on stewed and preserved yel...
Dark amber colour. A complex nose on fine sweets (caramel, caramel, milk chocolat...) but als fresher notes of mint and flowers. The palate is well balanced between juicy banana cake and fresh citrus fruits. The finish is medium to long ending on fine tea notes and peppermint.
Amber colour with golden reflexes. Vanilla, glue, ripe pears, milk chocolate mixed with fresher nuances like peppermint and fresh cut grass. On the palate "bourbonish" sweetness with vanilla, coconut milk, raisins and a nice bit of glue. The finish is long and refreshing on peppermint, cconut ...

Bonjour Drinks is a curated selection of France's finest spirits, aiming to take you on a journey through the captivating world of French spirits, far beyond the our beloved Cognac. Offering access to a selection of the finest spirits and liqueurs from France, including Armagnac and Calvados, Bonjour Drinks showcases the exceptional craft of distinguished artisanal producers from various regions.
Originally born from a successful blog and e-commerce platform focused on exclusively on Cognac, Bonjour Drinks extends the passion for authentic French spirits - very much a Tour de France of French spirits. With a deep connection to the farming roots of the spirits industry, the creators of Bonjour Drinks embarked on a spirited "Tour de France," curating a collection that resonates with the unique regional identities of France.
The result is the Bonjour Drinks Selection—a hand-picked assortment of premium French spirits and liqueurs that stand out for their quality and uniqueness. The selection process focused on a set of criteria that would ensure an authentic and extraordinary experience for drinkers. The history, culture, cuisine, climate, and traditional distillation methods of the region, along with the uniqueness and taste of the product, played crucial roles in this selection.
Among the highlights of the selection are Armagnac and Calvados. Armagnac, a rich brandy hailing from the Gascony region of France, weaves a complex flavor narrative that resonates with centuries of tradition. Meanwhile, Calvados, a apple and pear based brandy from Normandy, offers a uniquely crisp and warm experience that balances fruity notes and spices with an always satisfying finish.
Bonjour Drinks invites you to join a liquid gastronomy tour of France, showcasing the wide range and vibrancy of the country's craft liquors. Our platform is designed for both discerning connoisseurs and curious novices eager to explore the rich spectrum of French spirits. The heart of Bonjour Drinks lies in promoting and providing easy access to small-production, authentic spirits from across France - many of which never leave the France. Whether you're after the intricate flavors of Armagnac, the unique fruitiness of Calvados, or eager to discover a new French spirit, Bonjour Drinks offers a gateway to the best of France's spirits.
Bonjour Drinks emerged from the vision to expand the scope of Cognac Expert, a blog founded in 2009 at the family estate, Logis de Beaulieu, in Poullignac, France. The initiative, which began as a way to spotlight the exceptional work of the region's numerous grower-distillers, evolved into a successful business spanning e-commerce, media content, and B2B relations, all while maintaining its original mission to promote small-production authentic Cognac. We, Sophie & Max (the founders of Cognac Expert), also farmers, embarked on a journey across France, tasting various unique spirits from different regions. Our desire to explore beyond Cognac gave birth to Bonjour Drinks, an online platform that showcases a premium selection of French spirits and liqueurs, representing the rich diversity of the country's spirit offerings.
Cheers to France!
