House founded in 1838
Founded by an association of local vineyard owners in 1838, the company took its name from Jean-Gabriel Monnet in 1897, who also gave the Salamander as emblem to the company. After Jean-Gabriel, the company was led by his son, Jean Monnet, who later became the father of the European Union.

Monnet XO Prestige : The promise of enchantment

cognac Monnet xo cognac Monnet xo

The eaux-de-vie that make up MONNET XO PRESTIGE mainly come from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, the two most prestigious crus of the Cognac region, and they are elegantly completed by Fins Bois cru. Similar to the salamander, the eaux-de-vie of this XO have mastered the flames of the pot-still, to inherit mythical powers and exceptional qualities. They are then matured in oak casks in the MONNET cellars for substantially longer than legally required to obtain the XO appellation.

A new look for Monnet XO

As from February 2010, MONNET XO will come in an original and unique luxury decanter, whose form was inspired by a glass of cognac. Elegant and refined, the new presentation highlights the mysterious and generous qualities of our cognac and is named Monnet XO Prestige.
