Cognac Lise Baccara
Excellence between tradition and modernity

Founded in 1988, la Maison de Cognac Lise Baccara has established itself as a unique signature on the cognac market. Combining tradition and innovation, our collection is intended as much for long-time cognac lovers as for new ones.

Our master liquor maker, Gérard Paignon, carries on a familial know-how, passed on for three generations, by bringing delicate cognac recipes and unique creations to life. Cognac is a French spirit crafted from white grapes, distilled twice in copper alembics, following the double-distillation method. Then, it is aged in oak barrels. Depending on how long it has been aged, a cognac bottle can carry different names: Cognac VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), Cognac XO (Extra Old), Cognac XXO (Extra Extra Old), Cognac Extra.

A craftsmanship that reveals the softness within (and its natural character)

True to the AOC spirit, Lise Baccara’s cognac is crafted exclusively from grapes grown in the Maison’s estate vineyards, using our own cellars for the vinification. The wine is then distilled twice in traditional alembics.

Our cognac’s rich taste is born from the maceration of natural ingredients, as we never use artificial aromas.

This meticulous craftsmanship gives life to a cognac collection with magnificent golden amber hues, showcasing a timeless elegance. Here at Maison Lise Baccara, authenticity is an art.
