Estate history
In the Middle Ages, the Mesnac land belonged to the Cognac lordship. In the 15th century, it became the property of Geoffroy de Beaumanoir and his family, until 1490 when it was bought by Jean de Puyrigault and kept in the family for three generations. In 1747, the lands of Mesnac and Chazotte came into the possession of Louis D'orviller, Navy Admiral and Knight of the Order of Saint Louis. In 1783, the "Angages" estate is acquired by the Count d'Artois, future King Charles X. The Chateau de Mesnac was a solid manor house at the time. In 1921, Jean-Charles Churlaud united the Mesnac lands through exchange and purchase. His wife Thérèse Churlaud developed the distillation activity and wholesale marketing. In 1972, production tripled followed by storage and ageing units. Their only daughter Christel followed in their footsteps. She is proud to market the Cognacs that are over fifty years old. The D. du Veron collection is a great reflection of Cognac, for the high-end range: the richness of the area, its ancestral and precious character, confirming a strong personality and expertise of the producers and, above all, that the source of all destiny is work and love.
