Cognac Derouineau, the New Exceptional Partner of AC Private

It is with immense pride that AC Private, the benchmark luxury concierge, welcomes Maison Derouineau among its Exceptional Partners. A meeting of two commitments to excellence: that of a private family cognac house, founded in 1935, and that of a concierge for whom the art of living is an absolute.

Derouineau, a private cognac house since 1935

In the heart of the Charente, in the village of Sigogne, Maison Derouineau has been perpetuating a family expertise passed down through the generations since 1935. An independent estate of 30 hectares of vines, of which 25 hectares are dedicated to AOC Cognac, the house cultivates a deeply artisanal approach: from vine to cellar, every step is mastered with patience and precision.

This rare independence makes Derouineau a true Private House — a signature engraved in fine gold on its gift boxes and cards. Here, time is not a constraint but an ally: the eaux-de-vie age slowly, until they reveal the amber roundness and aromatic depth that make the reputation of the great cognacs.

The art of cognac, between patience and precision

Cognac is one of the most demanding spirits in the world. Double distillation in a Charentais still, ageing in oak barrels, patient blending of vintages: every gesture spans years, sometimes decades. Maison Derouineau thus offers a range from traditional cognacs to vintage reserves and XO cuvées, in which the youngest blend has aged for at least ten years.

The result can be read in the glass: a deep amber colour, a nose of candied fruit, vanilla and sweet spices, a full and silky palate. Whether enjoyed neat, on ice or elevated into a signature cocktail, Derouineau cognac embodies that discreet elegance which distinguishes the very greatest houses.

An Exceptional Partnership: Derouineau × AC Private

By joining the circle of AC Private's Exceptional Partners, Maison Derouineau opens the doors to a world usually reserved for the initiated. This partnership embodies a shared conviction: true luxury is not ostentation, but access to what is rare, authentic and perfectly mastered.

Through AC Private, our private clientele can discover the house's confidential cuvées, access private tastings, compose bespoke gift sets and experience cognac as close as possible to its craft.

Derouineau and the Bentley Club of Monaco

Maison Derouineau's influence extends far beyond the borders of the Charente. Its XO Cognac gift sets have notably featured with the prestigious Bentley Club of Monaco, a circle where enthusiasts of exceptional automobiles meet the most refined art of living on the Rock.

It is precisely at this intersection — of automotive excellence, exceptional spirits and the art of entertaining — that AC Private finds its place. As a luxury concierge present in Monaco, on the French Riviera, in Paris, Strasbourg and Prague, we connect these worlds to offer our clients unique experiences, where a Derouineau cognac can accompany a private dinner, an automotive event or a signature evening in the most exclusive venues of the Principality.
