Here are a few of the reviews that greeted
the release of Maison Surrenne.

The last cognac shipped by
small boat came from
Surrenne: 1936

“One of the more fascinating portfolios of cognac I've discovered
—these top-notch spirits are gathered from small distillers in France by brandy guru Ansley Coale, Jr. and his partner, Hubert Germain-Robin. The collection includes the excellent Maison Surrenne Petite Champagne and the superb Maison Surrenne 1946” —ANTHONY DIAS BLUE/BON APPETIT

extremely high scores from the Wine Enthusiast:
96-100 score/classic Distillerie Galtaud Unblended Borderies
90-95 score/superb Ancienne Distillerie Petite Champagne
90-95 score/superb 1946 Unblended Grande Champagne

“These are wonderful cognacs... and serious bargains. We particularly
liked the Distillerie Galtaud bottling, an unblended Borderies offering with aromas of violets in the nose and a nut-kernel quality on the palate” —WINE & SPIRITS/COGNACS OF THE YEAR 2000

“I want something that my customers will remember.
It's almost 2 to 1 in favor of Maison Surrenne”.
"Jerry Fritzler, manager and co-owner of The Broker restaurant in Denver, has embraced Maison Surrenne cognacs. When a guest orders a better-known cognac, servers offer patrons a side-by-side taste of a comparable Maison Surrenne. When a guest orders Remy Louis XIII, servers recommend Maison Surrenne 1875 Heritage, let the guest taste them, and then ask which one
he or she prefers” —FELICIA SHERBERT/MARKET WATCH

“Ranks with the best I've tasted”—Five stars (Highest rating), Distillerie Galtaud Unblended Borderies "A serene, composed, elegant bouquet that's in my crop of favorites. . . sings with grace and authority” —PAUL PACULT/SPIRIT JOURNAL

Double gold medal - Best VSOP cognac.
Ancienne Distillerie Petite Champagne —SF SPIRITS COMPETITION 2000

“Friends will think it set you back at least
twice as much as you paid”
91 score + BEST BUY Maison Surrenne Petite Champagne
—“Burnished gold, extremely floral, smooth with hints of fruit that give the
spirit balance”.
96 score Maison Surrenne Unblended Grande Champagne, Lot 1946.
"Wonderful display of dark fruits, big and rich—the finish is very long and very satisfying”
—GARY REAGAN/WINE ENTHUSIAST

“Two of the oldest and most sophisticated cognacs on the market.
The Maison Surrenne 1875 Héritage exhibits an elegance in taste that hasn't existed in 125 years...delicate yet regal” —RICHARD CARLETON HACKER/ROBB REPORT

“I've come to expect nothing but the best from Germain-Robin. When they decided to start importing cognac, they went for the top” —LARRY WALKER / WINES & VINES
