About Paul Beau
Complex cognacs for the connoisseurs from the centre of Grande Champagne. The Beau cognac firm was started in 1895 by Samuel Beau, the father of Paul. Samuel died in 1914 and Paul and his wife who always proudly claimed to be a peasant took over. The estate grew in size but the emphasis has always been on ageing.
Details
