Vinet-Delpech brands catch fire
Estate unveils new marketing division Les Brûleries
Modernes
Almost 250 years after its origin, the
family-owned Distillerie Vinet-Delpech is
launching Les Brûleries Modernes, a new
division in charge of its brands.
The new structure will create, launch, develop
and support the group’s brands around the
world. The existing portfolio consists of
Delpech-Fougerat Cognacs, Pineaux des
Charentes, Hector Legrand brandy, Excellency
Club and Glen Mc Clay Scotch whiskies. To
coincide with the introduction of Les Brûleries
Modernes at Vinexpo Bordeaux, the firm will
also reveal its new Hold Up gin.
100 hectare Distillerie Vinet-Delpech is
located in the heart of the Cognac region and
currently managed by Bruno Delannoy. The
new Les Brûleries Modernes division, headed
by his son Jean-Baptiste, benefits from having
exceptional technical know-how, a broad
commercial network, deep relationships in
the world of wines and spirits, together with
strong and diversified supplies.
The word modernes in the new division’s titles
is self-expanatory – but what about the word
“Brûlerie”? According to Vinet-Delpech, the
word, which means “the act of burning” dates
back to the fifteenth century and originally
refers to the place where “eau de vie” was
distilled (burned). In other words, the phrase
Les Brûleries Modernes symbolises a blend of
the traditional and contemporary

Domain UBY’s human touch
Estate launches new generation of Armagnac called
UBY Oak
For three generations, the Domain UBY
estate in Southwestern France has been
committed to a human, environmental
and sustainable approach.
Exciting developments for Vinexpo Bordeaux
2019 include the launch of a new generation
of Armagnac called UBY Oak, whose
characteristics include vinification without
sulphites, triple cask maturation and rich
amber colour.
The vineyard is located in the Gers region
between Toulouse and Bordeaux. The wine
is made naturally, without the addition of
sulphites, and is distilled in Domain UBY’s
single heating still. It is during the maturation
process in oak barrels that the amazing
alchemy between alcohol and wood takes
place. As for the estate’s spirits, the best
plots of tawny sand in Bas-Armagnac have
always been selected to give them the required
elegance and fruitiness.
A new winery guaranteeing the safety and
development of the estate was built in 2012.
It combines mastery and technical expertise,
from winemaking, aging and conservation to
packaging.
To meet Domain UBY’s growing customerbase’s
demands without having to compromise
on its quality objectives, the estate has
partnered with local winemakers – who
bring in their harvest according to a common
production specification. Overall, the operation
comprises 250 hectares of family owned wines
and 320 hectares of winegrower-partners of
which 70ha are organic
