    Superb discovery, an educational visit during which both adults and teenagers were interested in our guide's explanations about the region, the development of cognac, and the history of the house. We were able to visit the different areas of the distillery, with its superb still room. The aromas we tried to identify during the tasting for adults and in an olfactory way for teenagers. A wonderful moment with family!
