Pierre Vallet
FAMILLE VALLET
ARTISANS-EXPLORATEURS DE SPIRITUEUX
Rich in our history, the Vallet Family is not less than 8 generations of experience and know-how serving the terroir of cognac. However, the Vallet Family has been working for 6 generations as owner grower of the Château Montifaud vineyard. It sees succeeded by Pierre-Augustin, Pierre-Adrien, Maurice, Louis and Michel. Nowadays, Laurent VALLET, the 6th generation, is the owner of the estate. With his wife, Elodie, they are the fervent holders of an authentic story where each generation follows one after another, but don't resemble each other.
It was in 2000 that Laurent joined the family estate, after having vinified on other farms, notably in the United States. The vineyard then extends over 60 ha in Petite and Grande Champagne. In 2004, Laurent married Elodie and had 2 daughters: Loïs and Flavie. In the years that followed, Laurent was fortunate to work alongside his grandfather Louis, and his father Michel, learning all the know-how acquired over generations in the vineyard, at the distillery or in the half-light of cellars. The tasting of cognac and the art of blending then became a passion for him … The vineyard expanded at 90Ha then in 2007, always concerned with quality, Michel and Laurent built a new assembly cellar at the forefront of technology. It was that year that Elodie joined the family at the property. In 2011, Laurent and Michel renovated the 12Hl stills, which were assembled at the time by their ancestors Maurice and Pierre.
