The Pitaud Tres Vieux Petite Champagne Cognac is made exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the smaller of the two Champagne growing regions. The Ugni Blanc grapes used for this Cognac were harvested upon the mixed, chalky soils of the Petite Champagne terroir. This region is famous for producing well-balanced eaux-de-vie with elegant floral notes, and this Cognac is no exception. A well-matured Petite Champagne expression, bursting with dried flowers, tobacco leaf and herbal notes.
Born in 1882, Albert Pitaud was the owner of La Garnerie, an estate and Cognac house in the Petite Champagne region. Here, he lovingly created eaux-de-vie of renowned quality until World War One, when he was called into military service for his country. He decided to hide away his casks while he was absent, and returned to find them still in place. These casks remained part of his collection, and when Albert passed away in 1968 he passed on his legacy, including Cognac dating back to 1914.
Today, Pitaud Cognac is renowned for producing exceptional cognacs ranging from VS upwards. Each Cognac created by the House of Pitaud has at least one symbolic drop of what is known as ‘Cognac Albert Pitaud,’ the house’s premier product dating from around 1914, which makes it over 100 years old. Sought out by both amateurs and connoisseurs throughout the world, Cognac Pitaud is particularly well known in Germany, USA, Russia, China and Italy. Whilst their traditions and Cognacs remain faithful to tradition, the company itself is forward-thinking and embraces the very latest in modern technology.

The stunning decanter features a unique shape, with curving sides that make it a pleasure to hold. Gold details printed on the glass, along with an oversized bulbous crystal stopper, give a luxurious look to the whole package.
Take the time to leave this Cognac to rest in your glass before tasting it, and prepare yourself for the moment when you take the first sip. For the best tasting experience, serve at room temperature, or slightly chilled, in a tulip glass.

The brand’s founder – Albert Pitaud – produced eaux-de-vie from his estate in the Petite Champagne region. Today, Cognac Pitaud is known for producing a range of top quality cognacs presented in beautiful bottles and decanters that are themselves a work of art.
