The Cognac house of Roullet has a long and rich history. Indeed, the Roullet family were some of the very first to sell Cognacs in glass bottles in Paris back in the 18th century. Vineyards and working the vines are in the blood of this long line of wine makers. There is a traceable history showing the family first owned vineyards in the Cognac region as far back as 1772.

It was down to one Paul Frederic Roullet who, after surviving the massacre of the French Revolution, eventually managed to gain a licence from the Republic in 1791 that allowed him to distil wine. He then went on to become a liquor supplier to the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. He actually founded the house of Roullet in 1780. Since then the house has remained in the family, each generation handing their knowledge and prowess onto the next.
Mathias Paul Roullet is the ninth generation of cellar masters who've been tasked with leading the house. Today Roullet Cognac remains a family run concern, but is actually part of the larger company, SAS LES VIGNOBLES REUNIS-ROULLET. The family own and farm over 200 hectares of vines, the majority of which are in the Fins Bois region. They also own vines in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.
