History of Paul Beau Cognac
At the end of the 1800s, Samuel Beau began to work the vineyards surrounding his Segonzac estate. Located in the most sought after of all the terroirs – Grande Champagne – Samuel tended and developed the vines, as well as building the cellars, distillery and other buildings that are still in use today.
When Samuel died in 1914, the cognac house passed to his son, Paul Beau. Paul was married to Denise, a lady with great knowledge of wine production having been born into a family of wine growers. Together, Paul and Denise planted more vines, enlarging it to a little over 100 hectares in size. Over the years they also modernized the buildings and distillery, whilst keeping the traditional alembic stills to ensure the age old quality of their produce.
In 1977 the decision was made to keep some of their cognac back from sale to the larger houses, with the idea to bottle and sell directly under their own label – and the Paul Beau brand name was created.
