Introducing the Mauxion Petite Champagne 1958, a rare vintage from a multi-generation producer based in Sainte-Lheurine (17520). This eau-de-vie, distilled “sur lies” in a traditional Charentais still and aged without any blending or cross-cutting, stands as a pure expression of the Petite Champagne cru at 51% ABV and presented in 70 cl format.
The estate’s two original barrels remain in situ to this day, stored in a humid earth-floor cellar which has nurtured the Cognac’s slow maturation for decades. The result is a spirit that reveals all the hallmarks of an exceptional old Petite Champagne: precision, depth, and beautifully matured complexity.
On the nose, the fruit is vibrant even after many years — citrus and orchard notes, fresh and poised rather than simply oxidative. The palate delivers both richness and finesse: marmalade, apricot and refined wood, all balanced by subtle herbal and mineral touches. The finish lingers, articulate and assured, a reminder of the quality of the terroir and the patience of its custodians.
The Mauxion Petite Champagne 1958 Cognac is presented in an elegant and classic bottle that reflects the prestige of its age and origin. The clear glass reveals a deep amber spirit with copper and mahogany glints, allowing the color itself to testify to decades of maturation. The label, crafted in gold tones with refined typography, displays the words “Cognac Mauxion Sélection Petite Champagne 1958” with a numbered edition mark, underlining the rarity of this very limited release.
The neck of the bottle is sealed with golden wax, complemented by a fine metallic medallion embossed with the Mauxion insignia, tied elegantly around the neck with gold thread. This finishing touch adds a sense of authenticity and tradition, consistent with the house’s reputation for family-crafted excellence.
The bottle is housed in a solid wooden presentation case of dark oak tone, fitted with a polished metal plaque engraved with the Mauxion name and the phrase “Very Limited Edition.” The contrast between the warm natural wood and the gold detailing enhances the impression of timeless refinement. Together, the packaging and bottle create an image of understated luxury, perfectly suited to the exceptional Cognac it contains.
This vintage is destined for the connoisseur who seeks a Cognac of character and provenance. It is equally suited for a quiet contemplative moment or to anchor a fine spirits collection. Serve it in a tulip or snifter glass, at room temperature, and allow its layers to unfold gently. A unique opportunity to savour a nearly heritage-level Cognac from the heart of Petite Champagne.
The origin of the Mauxion family dates back to 1575 when Pierre Mauxion was born in the village of Houlette. Today the estate is still home to the Mauxion family after thirteen generations.
