Monnet Cognac was founded in July 1838 under the name of "SOCIETE DES PROPRIETAIRES VINICOLES DE COGNAC" by a hundred of the smallest local growers, becoming the very first co-op in the Cognac industry, wishing to escape the quasi-monopoly of the big brands. (Hennessy, Martel, Courvoisier, and Remy Martin).
It is the first industrial building to have been manufactured in accordance with the logical manufacturing protocol which was considered innovative and ahead of its time, being the first to include every step of the Cognac production process in one state-of-the-art site.
In 1897, the shareholders' assembly appointed Jean Gabriel MONNET to manage the house. In addition to his knowledge, Jean Gabriel MONNET brought his name and registered the brand as well as what was to become the symbol of the House, the Salamander.
Now, Monnet is known for decades of rich history and its renowned 1920s poster, ‘Sunshine in a glass’.
The Monnet range includes Monnet VS, Monnet Sunshine, Monnet VSOP, Monnet XO Flamboyant, Monnet XXO and Monnet Salamander spiced liquor.
