The house

About Mery Melrose.

Cognac — Grande Champagne ·Est. Family lineage 4 generations; organic conversion

Maison Méry-Melrose is a certified-organic Cognac house in the Grande Champagne sub-appellation, run by François Méry — a fourth-generation distiller and viticulturist — together with his wife Janis Melrose. The compound house name reflects the marriage. Janis began converting the family vineyards to organic certification in 2007, making Méry-Melrose one of the small number of certified-organic Cognac producers. The house works Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Montils, ages eaux-de-vie in 400L Limousin oak, and produces VSOP solely from Grande Champagne fruit.

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.
