Winter is enjoyed by the fireplace in the drawing room, where you can sample Cognac and cigars. The Wellness Centre/Spa can provide a diversion for relaxation and cocooning. The interior is plush, with a successful blend of colours. Some of the guest rooms offer a spellbinding panorama over the Charente Valley and its vineyards and villages.
Tasting Cognac
Although not on a vineyard, this Cognac Chateau Hotel is close to all the major Cognac houses and distilleries where you can sample premium cognacs.
And – the hotel has its own the Cognathèque with more than 100 bottles of cognac on display, from little-known local VSOPs to single estate XOs.
The hotel’s knowledgeable sommelier can guide you. The hotel’s gourmet restaurant attracts visitors from far and wide.
Cognac is France’s most significant brandy with well-known Cognac houses such as Remy-Martin, Hennesy, Hine, Courvoisier and others are all worth a visit to taste/buy . Some cellars may levy a charge.
