COGNAC 1804 PINET CASTILLON & CO
Castillon was once a grand name in the world of cognac. It is perhaps better to call them by their full name ‘Pinet, Castillon & Co’. In 1814 Jean Élie Henry Castillon du Perron and Henri Pinet started this company in the city of Cognac. They were merchants, not producers.
Within a couple of years they had gained a dominating position in the cognac business. They were shipping world-wide and enjoyed a huge popularity. Around 1900 they owned warehouses and distilleries in several adjacent streets in the city of Cognac: Rue de Gâtebourse, Rue du Port and Rue de l’Abattoir (today called Rue des Gabariers). They had stocks of over 1000 casks of cognac in each of four different huge buildings.
The 1804 Pinet Castillon is a symbol of completeness and sophistication, worthy of many Cognac connoisseurs as well as Cognac connoisseurs wanting to own it.
