The new expression is described as a “contemporary homage” to the original Seignette Cognac, which was established 200 years ago. The Seignette family can be traced back to the 17th century Western French coast, known as prominent traders in salt and cognac in the La Rochelle region. Their coat of arms is recognised by a swan, which historically populated the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, as well as being a symbol of power, grace and elegance. The swan features on the Seignette VS label in tribute to the family’s legacy. Today we are proud to revive and build on the brand’s long heritage, so that a new generation can enjoy the fine quality that made the reputation of Seignette Cognac.
