Gautier Cognac continues to surf the sea of success

For the 20^th year in a row, Gautier Cognac has proved its outstanding quality by being presented with numerous global industry awards in 2017. A mark of the brand’s undeniable superiority, the awards cover all Gautier expressions, from VS to Tradition Rare.

Gautier Cognac was given a major strategic makeover in 2016, with a new brand personality and package design based on craftsmanship, heritage, unique know-how, and generosity.

‘An accessible craft cognac,’ is Gautier’s brand territory, reflecting a unique and authentic relationship to the elements in the cognac making process  – wood, water and the copper of the still - while the new packaging boasts vivid imagery reminiscent of all those elements to create a strong and contemporary visual identity.

Kevin Baker, Global Travel Retail Director of Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits (supplier of Gautier Cognac), comments: “We are thrilled by Gautier’s tremendous successes which have undoubtedly been spurred by its stunning new look. The awards are indisputable evidence of the quality and reputation of Gautier amongst the world’s top Cognac connoisseurs and industry judges, and with such credentials should be a must stock Cognac in every travel retailer’s premium spirits portfolio.”

He added “with ranging pressure so prevalent in the category, we encourage retailers to review and refresh their cognac portfolio, by introducing Gautier to lead that renewal”.
