Château des Plassons was built in the 15th century. At this time, the King Francois the First was born in Cognac. Between the 15th century to the 17th century Château des Plassons managed all the vineyards located around the Chateau. In the 18th century, Château des Plassons had their own vineyards. The development of the region then allowed the extension of the Château. The distillery and warehouses built in the courtyard of Château des Plassons form the centrepiece of a beautiful wine-growing ensemble, where the art of making cognac in the strict traditional way of the Charente region, is passed on from generation to generation. It was in 2009 that Julien and David Pannaud, fourth generation in a line of Cognac winegrowers, took over Château des Plassons in the heart of Charente. TERROIR: Planted on a hillside and protected from the wind, the vineyard is situated on an exceptional geological plateau of limestone, creating light and fruity characteristics.
