You will discover the historic Church of Saint-L\u00e9ger, with a Latin cross structure and cupola that dates to 1130, while its Romanesque fa\u00e7ade, built in the 1400s, features a marvelous rose window and doorway framed by the signs of the zodiac. La Maison de la Lieutenance, once the home of a prominent 17th century military officer, also shows traces of its medieval past. You will end your tour at the Chateau de Cognac. After the destruction of the first castle to the X century, a new one is built in the XIII century. According to legend, Fran\u00e7ois Ier was born in the park adjacent to the castle in 1494. It now bears his name. The castle was bought in 1796 by Baron Otard, who landscape caves for cognac. It can be visited from the guard room and large arches, the home of the Governor and the chamber of Casque, a museum is also devoted to the production of cognac.<\/p>\n
\nThis private, small group tour offers a unique opportunity to slip behind the scenes and deepen your knowledge about Hennessy’s legacy and how its remarkable cognacs are made. Board a shuttle for a brief crossing of the Charente River \u2014 an essential part of the Maison\u2019s history \u2014 and visit the Ageing Cellar, an authentic working cellar lined with oak casks hand-inscribed in chalk script. In this magical place redolent with the aroma of the eaux de vie, gain a better understanding about the Cognac ageing process and discover the natural phenomenon known as the \u00ab\u00a0angels’ share.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
\nDrive the small roads through the vineyards, follow the Charente river and take the landscape in, stop for a bucolic picnic and finally push the door of a distillery to unlock the secrets of distillation.<\/p>\n
\nCognac fans will begin their day in the historic Maison\u2019s cellars, where they will uncover the secret to the age-old skills that lie behind these golden eaux-de-vie.
\nVisitors will then get to sample R\u00e9my Martin cognacs during a tasting session. This will help them to identify the full aromatic palette before attempting to incorporate these aromas into their cocktails. Either on their own or in a team, they can let their imagination run wild while following the advice of a professional mixologist.
\nThe workshop ends with a tasting of their cocktail creations, served with delicious gourmet bites.<\/p>\n
