The Montils grape variety, nearly extinct after the 19th-century phylloxera outbreak, is renowned for its sweet, "swaying" soft notes and delightful Bourbon vanilla aroma.

Producer: The House of Godet traces its origins to Bonaventure Godet, a Dutch merchant who settled in La Rochelle in the 16th century. Leveraging the strategic location on the Atlantic coast, he began exporting wine and salt. To better preserve the wines, he had them distilled—thus, cognac was born. This innovation quickly gained favor, even with royal courts.

Today, five centuries later, the Godet brothers—Jean-Édouard, Maxime, and Cyril—represent the 15th generation carrying forward the family tradition. While most modern cognacs are made primarily from the juice of the Ugni Blanc grape, Godet takes a different path: they focus on rare grape varieties like Folle Blanche, Montils, and Colombard to create unique blends.
