J.G. Monnet gave the Salamander as emblem to the company. This mythical animal is able to survive in fire. During the distillation process, cognac is heated up over a fire. This symbolic meaning is the first explanation. The salamander was also the emblem of the Valois Family, whose most famous scion was François 1st, born in Cognac and King of France in the 16th century.
Similar to this legendary creature, capable of surviving fire, the eaux-de-vie of Monnet cognacs have mastered the flames of the pot-still, to inherit mythical powers and exceptional qualities.
