Godet Extra Cognac

Godet Extra Cognac 70cl: A Story of Resilience 

Godet Extra Cognac tells a tale of resilience, of survival, strength, and success. In 1945, 12th and 13th generation Godets Jacques and Jean were coming to terms with the end of World War II and the devastation it had caused to their cellars and vineyards. They were determined to replenish their stocks and continue the family tradition, leaving a legacy for generations to come.

This is the inspiration behind Godet Extra Cognac, an "Hors d'Age" blend using eaux-de-vie harvested during this post-war period of rebirth. Like a phoenix from the ashes, Godet managed to maintain their position as a quality Cognac producer, appreciated by Cognac connoisseurs for over 500 years.

Now run by the 15th generation of a Cognac dynasty; Jean Edouard, Maxime, and Cyril Godet have taken the heritage, history, and craftsmanship of their ancestors before them and ran with it, elevating the estate by creating a legendary and luxurious brand with 500 years of savoir-faire under their belt. The Extra Cognac is a fitting tribute to the family's post-war past, a true gem in their collection.

Master blender (and 15th generation Godet) Jean-Edouard isn't afraid to incorporate his heritage and history into his work, producing some exquisite Cognacs with his ancestors acting as a muse for his creations.

This particular Extra Cognac is not only superb to sip, with its sensual bouquet of dried flowers and a hint of spice, but equally a masterpiece to look at. Its extraordinary stand proudly frames this work of art, an exciting feast for the senses. 

What makes Godet stand out on the Cognac market is their La Rochelle location, the particularly salty and humid environment works magic on the eaux-de-vie during the aging process, and this particular Hors d'Age Cognac has been maturing for decades in the estate's most ancient cellars.

Thanks to this climate, the Godet Extra Cognac truly makes for a unique and stand-out sensory exploration of Cognac at its best.
