Founded in 1880 by Honoré Fillioux, the company is now run by his great-grand-son Pascal J. Fillioux.
The vineyards lie in the heart of the Grande Champagne in the "golden triangle": Verrières, Angeac-Champagne and Juillac-le-Coq.
It is well known, this area yields the most delicate and finest Cognacs, and requires long oak barrel ageing to achieve maturity: the ageing is the key.
Nothing will be done without Pascal's full control, from wines to labels and from soil to bottle. It's a one-man-show.
The men in the Fillioux dynasty have each borne a great love to their region and their soil. They have, from generation to generation, been blessed with an exceptional "nose": that one, unique, talent that sets apart those who love greatness and those who are actually able to create it.
The House of Jean Fillioux belongs to a select group of traditional family estates who have successfully defended their upper quality niche over several decades by producing consistently authentic Cognacs that rest on century-old traditions, patience and love to become the masterpieces true connoisseurs appreciate.
The Reserve Familiale :
Jean Fillioux classic and many times awarded. in July 2013, Jean Fillioux Reserve Familiale Tres Vieille Grande Champagne Cognac was named named Top 40 Spirit in the world by F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, praised it for its "Tart, densely fruity, startlingly fresh for its age, and acutely resiny; midpalate is multilayered, cheese-like, woodsy, herbal, honeyed and rich. Crazy delicious. Phenomenally luscious. A benchmark for the ages from the genius of Pascal Fillioux."
