France has an impressive wealth of terroirs expressed through a multitude of grape varieties. For more than a century, René-Philippe Duboscq’s family has been established on Médoc land as wine growers and horse breeders. René-Philippe continues this family tradition today at Château Laujac not only as a wine grower and horse breeder, but as a whisky maker as well. Through his passion for whisky-making, René-Philippe Duboscq pays tribute to his father’s horse, Nelcius, which won the Prix du Jockey Club in 1966. René-Philippe Duboscq seeks to express the wealth of taste and flavors from the French terroir through his whiskies.

o Nelcius Whisky – Cabernet Sauvignon is exclusively a French product - grown, malted, and distilled in France. Château Laujac whiskies are distilled in small Carle-style stills, and then undergo a double distillation to ensure intense aromas and delicate flavors. The spirit is then matured in the Château’s own wine barrels, first being placed in French oak barrels for 5 years, then moved to barrels that have previously held Château Laujac’s AOC Médoc wines of Cabernet Sauvignon to mature for one more year.

URB'N de Luxe Cognac is a testament to Distillerie Des Moisan’s desire to make it DEAU cognac available to the mixology world. Made from the finest blends, URB’N de Luxe cognac has delicate characteristics.

Aging in old oak barrels gives it a clear, natural color highlighting its extreme freshness and finesse, perfectly adapted for cocktails. Spicy autumn aromas with summer fruit, peach and pear on the palate. Well suited for sipping neat too.

The origins of Deau Cognac began over 300 years ago, when a young entrepreneur, Louis Deau, became a master of the cognac trade, producing exquisite cognacs in the Cognac region. The tradition of Deau Cognac is carried on today by Distillerie Des Moisans, which was founded by Roland Bru in 1962 and has been owned by the Bru Legaret family for three generations. The estate has remained independent from the large cognac houses and is currently run by the founder’s daughter, Veronique Bru Legaret who today presides over the destiny of the DEAU Cognac House. An expert in the art market, she recognizes the nobility of the brand, and its symbolic Griffin, that she has known since childhood. Three centuries after Louis Deau's first creations, she has bought back the old eaux-de-vie and preserved this treasure trove in Les Moisans.

The Moisans estate is passionate about their terroir and vineyards and gives great care to creating the wines that will become Deau Cognac. It is thanks to the land and the vines that the family history carries on. The estate is located in the Petit Champagne region of Cognac, an area renowned for its fine brandies. The main grape variety is Ugni Blanc, which yields lively, fresh wines which are ideal for making cognac. Located in a small hamlet in Sireuil (between Cognac and Angoulême), the estate includes the distillery, the aging cellars, a bottling building, and the offices – something rare enough in Cognac to be emphasized! This proximity of all the processes allows the Moisans estate to always keep careful control over the quality and customer service.

The distillery is a splendid cathedral-like building with twelve Charentais stills that continuously distill from October through March of the following year. The slow heating process of the still combined with double distillation produces eaux-de-vie of unrivalled quality. Double distillation allows the distillery to keep only the aromatic “hearts” of the eaux-de-vie, guaranteeing the high quality of the Cognac. The cellar master of Distillerie Des Moisans personally supervises the meticulous work of distillation. Through his talent and expertise, he gives Deau Cognacs the personality and characteristics that are dear to the Bru Legaret family.
The aging cellars are located on the banks of the Charentes River, in niches of limestone concentration, imparting the ideal humidity for slow and harmonious maturation.

BB9 Organic Gin from Bear Brothers. The Gin of Occitanie.

An organic, London Dry gin produced in the Occitanie region of southern France. Made in the Mediterranean-style with botanicals, spices, exotic citrus, and hand-harvested, mountain juniper berries.  Wheat-based neutral grain alcohol.  Distillation in Stupfler stills.  Nothing but water sourced from deep within the Pyrenees Mountains is added after distillation.

Flavors of juniper, grapefruit, bergamot, coriander, and Nepalese Timut pepper.
Bear Brothers Gin belongs to the highest quality category of gins, the distilled products of the London Dry gin appellation, and are resolutely inspired by nature and the Pyrenean terroir. All their gins are made with their hand-harvested juniper berries and trademark exotic fruits –Yuzu, Buddha’s Hand citrus, Caviar lemons, Bergamot, Corsican citron and more. Only natural products go into the composition - no flavors, essential oils, or sugar.

Why the name "Bear Brothers"? For three former rugby players from the Ariège mountains, nature and friendship has been a true inspiration. The name "Bear Brothers" pays respect to the Pyrenean bears-an endangered species recently reintroduced to their mountain habitat in the mountain range between France and Spain.  It also honors the enduring friendship of three friends who were mobilized to discover the virtues of their territory through their spirits.
