1989 · Founding
Origins in the Cognac region
Founded in 1989 by passionate
Charentais oenologist Jean-
Michel Naud, Distillerie De La
Tour was created to unlock the
full potential of the Charente &
Gascony vineyards.
From Vineyard to Vision
From wine to world-class spirits Craft & Expansion
Since the beginning, Distillerie
De La Tour’s goal has been to work hand-
in-hand with local growers. We set
out to create value from every part of
the vine by crafting exceptional
wines and wine eaux-de-vie, brandy
and cognac and, over time,
we ventured into grain-based alcohol,
becoming pionneers in the region by
producing world-class vodka,
whisky and gin.
The next generation
Continuing the legacy with the same Spirit
Later joined by Jean-
Michel’s children, Clarisse
and Pierre, Distillerie De La
Tour continues to push
boundaries and uphold
regional pride.
