Visit the COGNAC CHOLLET Estate

Discover the Craft Secrets of “Silky Aromatic Cognac”

PRODUCER AND TRADER SINCE 1952

Step into the heart of the Cognac region and experience the birthplace of HADESIS at the CHOLLET estate.

Here, you may stroll through the estate’s own vineyards, where old vines reflect the character of the local terroir. You will enter the historic Distillerie du Planty and witness traditional copper Charentais stills producing eaux-de-vie through the classic double-pot still method. You will also have the opportunity to explore the private cellars and admire the aged French oak casks.

During the guided tour, you will hear the story of the CHOLLET family from 1952 to the present day, and learn how the current proprietor, Christophe, has used his craftsmanship to create “Silky Aromatic Cognac” — transforming traditional spirits into a silky, layered, and rounded expression. You will gain a complete understanding of the essence behind every stage of the process.

Estate History

HADESIS is the cognac brand created by the CHOLLET family. It symbolises this family estate, deeply rooted in the very heart of the Cognac region, setting sail from France to find its rightful place in the glasses and hearts of Asian connoisseurs.

The roots of the CHOLLET family run deep in this land. In 1952, Jacques and Jeannine CHOLLET cleared their first parcel with their own hands; in 1971, they built the Planty distillery themselves. Over the decades, the family’s foundations have become one with the roots of the vineyard. Their eaux-de-vie have supplied some of the world’s most renowned spirits houses, and through quiet dedication and rigorous craftsmanship, the family has amassed a wealth of experience and an outstanding reputation.
