Pasquet
The small 7.5 hectares vineyard, nestled in the tiny township of Eraville in Grande Champagne, produces Cognac since 1730.
Jean-Luc and his wife, Marie-Françoise, worked their grape vines conventionally for 22 years, until some of the vines began to show signs of poor health. It just so happened that during that same year, 1994, they learned about and were attracted by the precepts of organic agriculture. Convinced by a year of trials, they began using organic practices troughtout the vineyard the next year and in 1998 were granted the "Agriculture Biologique" French organic label.
Five years later, their first all-organic Cognac, l'Organic VS "Terroir", came out and just two years later, the l'Organic VSOP followed suit. In the early part of the 2000's, with the new way of cultivating the vines came novel ideas for before-dinner and dessert drinks: the Raisignac and the Marie-Framboise.
In January 2011, their son Jean officially took over the Domaine from his father. For the first six years, his parents, helped him, steadily leaving him to be guided by his own vision for JLP cognac independently. He tended to the vines, vinified his wine, distilled it, made his blends, bottled them, and marketed his production solo for six years.
