Cognac, France
Les Foudres holds a Michelin star (2024) and occupies the historic barrel-ageing hall of Hôtel Chais Monnet in Cognac, where century-old foudres once stored the region's defining spirit. The kitchen draws on Charente terroir, free-range poultry, Atlantic fish, Île de Ré potatoes, and frames it through modern French technique, with a price point at the upper tier of the city's dining scene.

A Michelin Plate holder for two consecutive years, Notes brings modern French cooking to Cognac's historic centre under chef Fabien Beaufour. Positioned at the serious end of the town's dining tier, it offers a level of technical ambition rarely found outside the region's major cities.

A Michelin Plate-recognised modern kitchen on Avenue de Lattre de Tassigny, Poulpette sits at the more accessible end of Cognac's restaurant spectrum, below the €€€ tier occupied by Les Foudres and Notes, but holding its own with consecutive Michelin recognition in 2024 and 2025.

Camus is a historic Cognac house in central Cognac, opened in 1863 and shaped by a strong Borderies identity. The visitor format leans educational rather than purely retail: museum-style heritage material, guided tastings, themed flights, and blending workshops place the house inside the region’s wider conversation about cru, maturation, and family-owned production.
Cognac, France
Maison Bache-Gabrielsen gives Cognac a family-owned counterpoint to the region’s larger houses, with roots dating to 1905 and fourth-generation leadership in place since 2009. Its interest lies in the way Borderies and Fins Bois references, long ageing, and cellar continuity frame Cognac as a study of place rather than simple house style.
