Cognac Meukow

Charente, Charente - France

The distillery

Founded on 1 August 1862 in the heart of the cognac appellation, Maison Meukow is a family-run business that cultivates expertise, tradition and modernity. Since 1979, Meukow has been part of the Compagnie de Guyenne family group, founded by Michel Coste in 1969. Today, the company is run by his 3 children, Céline Viard, Philippe Coste and Marie-Laure Brugerolle. It was under Michel Coste's management that the symbol of the brand was born in the 1990s: the panther. This animal perfectly symbolises the strength, elegance and suppleness that characterise Meukow cognacs. The guided tour traces the history of the brand from 1862 to the present day, and presents the cognac-making process through the House's expertise. The tour, set in the heart of the historic cellars, combines tradition and modernity in an original scenography. Since 2012, the Chai Meukow has been offering lovers of spirits and gastronomy a unique culinary experience in a discreet and convivial setting. Our Chef Cédric Coulaut offers a menu based on local and seasonal produce, accompanied by the house cognacs and liqueurs.

    by for Visit and tasting of 3 Meukow cognacs (Tour and tasting) on 01/05/2026

    This was not just a tour , it was a rare and deeply moving experience. Our guide Max lives and breathes this House, and through him we felt its soul. Every word and gesture carried genuine love for the craft, the history, and the people behind it. The generosity, authenticity, and quiet nobility of the experience , reflected even in the new pricing policy made this visit truly unforgettable.

    Très belle découverte à la maison Meukow ! La visite est à la fois instructive et conviviale, parfaitement adaptée aux familles. Notre guide, Maxime, s’est montré passionné, clair et très sympathique : il a su rendre la visite vivante et captivante. La dégustation qui a suivi était de qualité et a permis de mieux apprécier le savoir-faire de la maison. Une expérience à recommander sans hésiter !

    The tour was fantastic. Valentine was passionate about the cognac, and the information he provided was exceptional. Really good thought out tour showing how cognac is made, and no pressure to buy anything at the end following the tasting....although we did ha! We all really enjoyed the tour!

  • Super découverte

  • Inoubliable expérience au Chai Meukow

    by for Visit, tasting and meal at Chai Meukow (Meal) on 07/29/2025

    Très instructive visite guidée où l'on apprend plein de choses passionnantes sur l'élaboration du cognac, depuis le raisin jusqu'à la mise en bouteille, en passant par toutes les étapes. Mention spéciale à Maxime, notre guide, très pédagogue et agréable, avec quelques petites touches d'humour ! La dégustation fut également très instructive (merci Maxime, maintenant grâce à vous je sais COMMENT il faut déguster un cognac !), les produits sont de très très haute qualité !! Excellent repas, ensuite, dans le restaurant attenant : cuisine extrêmement raffinée (mais sans être non plus "sophistiquée" !) , cadre très agréable et accueil souriant ! Je ne suis pas prêt d'oublier cette fabuleuse expérience !!

    by for Visit, tasting and meal at Chai Meukow (Meal) on 07/18/2025

    Excellent morning / lunchtime. We had a 10.30am tour with Max (who was very informative) which lasted almost until lunchtime where we had a reservation in the restaurant. The food was delicious and well presented and the service was good with a relaxed atmosphere and lovely surroundings. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Thank you to all staff.

    by for Visit, tasting and meal at Chai Meukow (Meal) on 07/09/2025

    We booked for ourselves and 2 friends. We had a great tour with Max as our guide - a very clever and creatively interesting way of explaining all the processes has been thought out. It is revealed to you step by step using video in different ways to bring it to life. The tasting afterwards warmed us up to a truly delicious lunch cooked by their great chef. What a treat on a lovely summer’s day in Cognac… reasonably priced too!

    by for Visit and tasting of 3 Meukow cognacs (Tour and tasting) on 05/22/2025

    I had the pleasure of visiting Meukow Cognac and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The tour was not only informative but also beautifully presented, offering a deep insight into the rich history and meticulous craftsmanship behind this exceptional cognac house. The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the show — a well-curated and engaging multimedia presentation that brought the story of Meukow to life in a memorable way. Our guide was absolutely excellent: knowledgeable, passionate, and articulate, with a true gift for storytelling. Their expertise added tremendous value to the experience, answering every question with clarity and enthusiasm. Whether you’re a cognac connoisseur or simply curious about the process, a visit to Meukow is a must. Highly recommended!

    Very nice and warm welcome to the distillery. The 3 of us had the guide to ourselves and had a great tour. Very informative and interesting. Nice tasting of 3 drinks at the end. Had lunch at the restaurant which was also really good but recommended you book in advance as they only just squeezed us in. Car park at the distillery is useful too.
