Merlet's precise control over sourcing and production ensures the intensity and freshness of this exclusive cherry brandy. This cherry liqueur is a favorite among sommeliers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. Its rich flavour profile and versatility make it an excellent choice for both classic and innovative cocktails.

Winemakers Notes
The Merlet family has been elaborating cognac for merchant houses since 1850. Five generations and over 160 years of experience as distillers have led the family to produce under their own name. Gilles Merlet actually started in the 70’s the cultivation of blackcurrants to diversify the distillery’s activities, and bottled fruit liqueurs first under his own label. It is in 2010, with his sons Pierre and Luc, that they began producing cognac under their brand, alongside their liqueurs. The family owns its own vineyard and distillery, therefore controls its wine sourcing, distillation, ageing, blending and bottling.
