Maxime Trijol excels at honoring tradition and the importance of every step in creating their products from the vine to the bottle
In 1859, Maxime Trijol installed their first still in Saint-Martial-sur-Né: the heartland of Cognac, France. In 1962, Maxime Trijol became a professional distillery, and today it employs an impressive twenty-two stills of 2,500 litres each.
Maxime Trijol passed his vineyard and distillery on to his son Jean-Jacques Trijol in 1972. The property is now owned and operated by Jean-Jacques and his two daughters, who are the sixth generation of Trijol’s to take over their family’s business. One daughter is the Master Distiller and the other is the Master of Cellar. Together, they work to enhance the best of their vines utilizing both new techniques and traditional methods. Maxime Trijol is distinctive amongst many of their peers in that they are one of a very few distilleries that partake in every step of the distillation process. They grow their own grapes, distill and age the wine, and even bottle their finished products. Maxime Trijol excels at honoring tradition and the importance of every step in creating their products from the vine to the bottle.
Maxime Trijol adheres to AOC Cognac rules. The grapes are crushed and pressed between the months of September and October. They then go through a yeast selection and fermentation control, allowing the juices to ferment without the addition of sulfur or dioxide. The wine is then rested on its lees to develop the cognac bouquet. Distillation begins when the wine process is done, no later than March 31st of each year.
The wine is distilled into cognac with the double distillation process: the Charente method of double heating in the traditional pot still.
Finally, the cognac is matured in French oak barrels, largely harvested from the Limousin Forest in France. Cognacs are blended from different years for the best taste.
