"Legend has it that double distillation was invented by the Chevalier de la Croix Maron, Seigneur de Segonzac, a very pious man who had a dream that Satan was trying to damn his soul. In his dream, he saw himself in the Evil One's cauldron, but his faith was so deeply rooted in him that the Chevalier's soul resisted the first 'cooking'. To achieve his ends, the Evil One was obliged to subject it to a second "cooking". When he woke up, the Chevalier had the idea of extracting the soul from the brandy with a second distillation. "

And so, in the Cognac region, the legend of the origin of the discovery of the double distillation of Cognac eaux-de-vie has been perpetuated.

Distilled in the heart of the region where Cognac has its roots, using the same century-old methods, CROIX MARON Cognac are still the heritage of this tradition today.
