Philippe

"I select only what’s worth sipping — legacy spirits with depth, distinction, and undeniable charm. From storied Cognac maisons to hidden Armagnac domaines, every bottle I champion carries a tale of terroir, time, and timeless taste. These aren’t just spirits — they’re liquid legacies, curated for those who appreciate finesse in every drop."

Allow me to introduce myself — I’m Philippe, your personal guide through the world of fine spirits, and the soul behind each bottle you’ll discover here.

My journey began not in a classroom, but in the cellars of southwest France, where barrels breathe slowly beneath old stone and the scent of time itself lingers in the air. Over the years, I’ve walked the vineyards of Grande Champagne, tasted decades-old Armagnacs in Gascon farmhouses, and listened as master blenders spoke of tannins, toasts, and the quiet alchemy of oak and patience.

What I bring you isn’t just selection — it’s curation, shaped by a deep love of craft and legacy. Whether it’s a noble XO Cognac layered with dried fig and old leather, a rustic vintage Armagnac humming with prune and tobacco, or a spirited VSOP perfect for a Sidecar with swagger, I’ve chosen it with purpose. Behind every recommendation is a story, a terroir, a touch of artistry worth savouring.

You might be here to find a gift that whispers class, to stock your cabinet with something truly special, or to finally branch beyond the big names. Whatever your reason, I’m here to make the experience effortless — and to introduce you to bottles that don’t just taste good, but feel meaningful.

So take your time. Explore. Ask. This is a place for connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike. And whether you’re toasting a milestone or simply the end of a long day, I’ll make sure what’s in your glass is always worth raising.

What I am drinking

Tasted this over the weekend, and my first thought?

“This is how Cognac should feel.”

Unforced, elegant, and full of quiet character. It didn’t try to impress — it just was. The kind of spirit that makes you slow down, lean back, and smile without realising it. There’s an old-world charm to it — like finding a handwritten letter in a drawer you haven’t opened in years. No flash, no fuss — just a beautifully aged Cognac that speaks softly and stays with you.
