What it tastes like.

This 1964 vintage from the Grande Champagne terroir is the fruit of the work of several generations, of a lifetime.

Several decades were necessary to polish such a jewel. First in casks, then in dame-Jeanne, the eaux-de-vie of this cognac has remained hidden in the darkness of the cellar.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is powerful, and voluptuous, marked by aromas of Catalan cream, ripe stone fruit, beeswax and licorice.

On the palate, there is a remarkably melted woody taste, of a bewitching complexity. Then this explosion of flavours: vanilla, fresh tobacco, exotic fruits and candied fruits. The whole is sublimated by an elegant rancio and an incredibly persistent saffron finish.

It is necessary to take time, each sip inspires a new emotion…

The house

About Jean Fillioux.

Cognac — Grande Champagne 1er Cru (Juillac-le-Coq) ·Est. 1880

Jean Fillioux is a five-generation Cognac house in Juillac-le-Coq, in the heart of Grande Champagne — the 1er Cru of Cognac. Honoré Fillioux founded the house in 1880; the family acquired the Domaine de la Pouyade estate in 1894, which has remained the production base ever since. The estate covers 25 hectares of Grande Champagne vineyards. The house produces only from its own grapes, distilled and aged on-site. Christophe Fillioux took over from his father Pascal in 2015 as the fifth generation.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Jean Fillioux

Cognac — Grande Champagne 1er Cru (Juillac-le-Coq)

Honoré Fillioux founded the Jean Fillioux Cognac house in 1880, working initially from his wife's family vineyard near Angeac-Champagne (the 'Puits' property). In 1894 the family acquired the Domaine de la Pouyade — the imposing residence and estate vineyard at Juillac-le-Coq in the heart of Grande Champagne — which has served as the production base ever since. The estate is 1er Cru classified, the highest tier within the Cognac AOC, recognised since 1909 for the chalky soils that produce the longest-cellaring Cognac eaux-de-vie.

Five generations have run the house since Honoré, with Christophe Fillioux taking over from his father Pascal in 2015. The estate is 25 hectares of Grande Champagne vineyard; the house works as a single-estate producer rather than a négociant — distilling its own grapes, ageing in its own cellars, and bottling under the family name. The range covers VSOP, Napoléon, XO, Réserve Familiale, the Cep d'Or XO (13–15 yrs Grande Champagne 1er Cru), and the deep cellar of single-vintage releases — most famously the 1953 Cognac.
