Croix Maron | Grande Champagne Cognac
From the heart of Grande Champagne, Croix Maron offers VS, VSOP and XO Cognacs crafted through traditional double distillation, French oak ageing and careful blending. A distinctive range for international importers and distributors, suited to hospitality, cocktails and specialist retail.
The story behind Croix Maron
Croix Maron is rooted in Segonzac and the Daviaud family’s winemaking heritage. Its Cognacs reflect traditional craftsmanship, from vineyard to ageing and blending, and a deep connection to Grande Champagne and respect for its origins. The brand takes its name from the legend of the Chevalier de la Croix Maron, whose unusual dream is associated with the origins of double distillation in the region’s folklore.
A sense of place
Croix Maron originates in Grande Champagne, Cognac’s Premier Cru, where Ugni Blanc grows on Segonzac’s clay-limestone soils. This distinctive terroir shapes its identity and traditional craftsmanship. Its VS, VSOP and XO expressions are all presented as 100% Grande Champagne Cognacs.
Made with intent
Croix Maron begins with Ugni Blanc grapes and traditional winemaking in Grande Champagne. The wines undergo slow double distillation with their lees in Charentais stills. The eaux-de-vie mature in French oak, often in seasoned casks, before selected spirits are blended in small batches and rested before bottling..
POSITIONING
Croix Maron brings an independent house's perspective to Grande Champagne Cognac. Its three core expressions offer professional buyers a coherent range for different occasions, from cocktail programmes and hospitality to premium gifting and specialist retail. Through ElixeMarket, we are introducing Croix Maron to qualified importers and distributors interested in developing the brand across selected international markets.
