Established in 1852, Maison Dupuy still owes its solid
foundations to the hard work and personal charisma of
its French founder, Auguste Dupuy. Acquired in 1905
by the Bache-Gabrielsen family, Maison Dupuy has risen
to global prominence and worldwide recognition while
remaining a family-owned Cognac house, with each of the
following generations inheriting the ancestral passion for
Cognac and taste for adventure. Dupuy is today Bache-
Gabrielsen Cognac House’s premium brand, both in
terms of the reliability of its blends and of the exclusive
character of its labelling and sealing.
Drawing from its ancestral roots a legacy of the French
lifestyle, the Dupuy brand is also firmly orientated towards
the future, as can be seen from the modern packaging
and marketing techniques of its Tentation range. Maison
Dupuy vows always to balance respect for tradition with
an unflinching commitment to evolution. ‘Respect For
Tradition’ is found in the way Maison Dupuy produces
its cognacs, in the purest Cognac-making tradition
from Charentes, nurturing its eaux-de-vie throughout
a long maturation process, and bringing them together
reverentially in exceptional and unique blends. The
‘Evolution’ is about Maison Dupuy keeping always keenly
alert to the need for its cognacs to remain resolutely the
modern nectar that will continue to inspire and enchant.
With its exclusive Tentation range, Maison Dupuy
will offer the cognac connoisseur a collection of aromas
in a palette that perfectly fits the seasonal cycle. While VS
Tentation will carry him successively from an explosion
of juvenile sensations to the beginning of a mature
cognac, VSOP Tentation will invite him to a fruity and
convivial summer universe. Confirming its maturation,
Luxus Tentation will fill him with a soft and pleasant endof-summer
heat, leaving XO Tentation to fully open the
autumn page, with the sustained aromas of a warm after
season and mellow plenitude. In its mouth blown crystal
decanter Auguste Hors D’age will complete this aromatic
journey, stretching to the intense and spicy universe of the
winter season, with strong and concentrated fragrances
that will leave him with a never-ending imprint.
Not only will Dupuy cognacs meet your expectations,
they will also introduce your nose and palate to their
very own universe of outstanding aromatic sensations.
