1656 - Birth of the BRILLET House

The Brillet House is located in Graves-Saint-Amant, in a place called Les Aireaux, in an enchanting setting, on the edge of the bucolic Charente. The story begins in 1656 with the birth of Guy Brillet, founding father of the wine estate in the very heart of the Cognac region.

1850 - Creation of the Négoce

Vivien Brillet, 7th generation, inaugurates the trading house in 1850, creating a distillery and cellars. This is the beginning of the growth of the Brillet House that Raymond and his son Jean will develop at the turn of the 1920s, creating their own brand of Cognac, in Petite and Grande Champagne (the first two Cognac vintages) and Pineau des Charentes. Thus, 10 generations of the Brillet family succeed one another, passing on and passionately keeping the family heritage alive.

1985 - Creation of a Cognac and Pear liqueur Belle de Brillet

It was in 1985 that Jean-Louis Brillet created Belle de Brillet, whose name pays homage to his "Belle", his wife Isabelle. Together, they worked passionately to promote Belle de Brillet, a unique liqueur combining Pear and Cognac with its distinctive pear-shaped bottle. Very quickly, it established itself as the flagship of the House.

2020 - Acquisition of Maison Brillet by the Rémy-Cointreau Group,

which also cultivates 50 hectares of vines in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.

Its Cognac comes from a single vineyard, certified HVE3, planted with the traditional Ugni Blanc grape variety. It is located in an atypical terroir of Fins Bois, on hillsides overlooking the Gironde estuary, and benefiting from the temperate influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

These eaux-de-vie are the result of a double distillation without lees in a traditional Charente still, and are aged partly in new oak barrels. They have round, fruity and floral notes, ideal for a harmonious marriage with pear eaux-de-vie.
