Cocktail creations by Jules Gautret

In the past few years, a wind of change and youth has come to the Jules Gautret company, and with it, a young and innovative pool of talent that has allowed the brand to forge a new identity while modernizing.

Now, it is with our revamped website, higher quality products and signature cocktails that Jules Gautret is changing and rising worldwide. If you haven’t tried them yet, now’s the ideal time to introduce you to our two cocktails “By Jules Gautret”:

Audacieux & Baroudeur

As you browsed through our company History, Jules Gautret’s career path may have caught your attention. That Audacious journey is where we got the mindset for our first cocktail: Audacieux.

Recognized for mastering the quality of the cognacs he produced, Jules Gautret’s life was interspersed with audacious events. He was only 21 years old when he took control of his life, departing from the obvious path of wine estate heir that had been planned for him. In 1847, he founded his own cognac production and trading company, which he shaped in his own image: dynamic, creative, and above all Audacious. His daring character and adventures are what inspired us for the blend of our cognac Prodige. In French, the word Prodige (which translates as ‘prodigious’ or ‘amazing’) defines an extraordinary act that reaches out to the future, or at least to those who will shape the world of tomorrow. By definition, our cognac Prodige perfectly characterizes the idea we were striving to share when we created this cocktail.

Our second cocktail, Baroudeur, is meant to be more adventurous, in reference to all the traveling Jules Gautret did throughout his life. First he traveled to Bordeaux to study, then toured worldwide to market his cognacs. Starting in 1895, he entered competitions, to gain international recognition for the quality of his cognacs, which he succeeded in doing brilliantly. He traveled around Europe and Asia where he was introduced to spices, and even South America where he found chocolate.  

Those journeys are what inspired us for the recipe of our Baroudeur cocktail that traces the early days of the Jules Gautret company. So it is only natural to pair the ingredients of this cocktail up with Jules Gautret Initial cognac, due to the aromas of its blend and its history.

Creating our signature cocktails required very special expertise in terms of mixology. That’s why we asked Guillaume, the owner of the bar Luciole, located in the Saint-Jacques district in Cognac, to accompany us in elaborating our cocktails.

Atypical and in tune with the convictions and history of the Jules Gautret company, Audacieux and Baroudeur are cocktails to enjoy when the weather gets nice and sunny, or at harvest time.

We encourage you to make them yourself, right at home. That way, you’ll be able to savor all the exquisite aromas and flavors they have to offer, much to your palate’s delight.

Enjoy!
