Le Logis Grey Goose | Cognac, France
Words & photos by Ben Brewster, Creative Director, The Cuff
Just outside of Cognac, nestled in the quaint commune of Juillac-le-Coq in the heart of France’s wine region, stands Le Logis—the home of Grey Goose. This breathtaking 17th century manor has been the brand’s de facto home since it was purchased about ten years ago and its modern revival is nothing short of majestic. Surrounded by farmland as far as the eye can see, the estate manages to retain its old world charm while incorporating modern amenities, namely a stunning pool that somehow perfectly blends with its surroundings.
If you’re fortunate enough to spend time in this invite-only oasis, your days will be spent at a leisurely pace, experiencing the rustic charm of the area (like freshly baked croissants and bike rides through the village and surrounding countryside) and learning about Grey Goose’s history and process, while of course tasting everything from the France-grown grain to the finished products; the iconic vodka and lesser-known but equally impressive cognacs will not disappoint.
