The vineyards currently operated by the CHOLLET family consist largely of vines more than forty years old, their aromas enriched by the patient sedimentation of time. The estate carefully blends eaux-de-vie from Petite Champagne and Fins Bois, marrying bright, generous fruit with delicate mineral depth to perfectly express the character of the terroir. Produced in small batches with meticulous care, the base wines undergo double distillation in traditional copper Charentais stills, with no water added at the base-wine stage. After ageing, the resulting eaux-de-vie are gently reduced with deionised water and pure spring water, allowing every drop to retain the purest essence of the land.

Under the expert guidance of the CHOLLET family, HADESIS was officially born. Select eaux-de-vie, some nearly fifty years old, slowly transform in ancient oak casks before being meticulously blended by the cellar master with younger eaux-de-vie, creating this groundbreaking masterpiece of revolutionary smoothness. This “Silky Aromatic Cognac” swiftly earned international acclaim, being named Cognac of the Year at the 2025 Asia Spirits Ratings and securing prestigious honours at the London Spirits Competition.
