The history of the Braastad family stretches over centuries, but the story of Braastad Cognac started in 1875 when a young man founded his very own House of Cognac on the banks of the River Charente. Five generations later, Braastad still making world-class cognac, applying the same care and craftsmanship as our founder did over 150 years ago.

​

The Braastad House keeps its family and independent character and is managed by the grandsons of Sverre Braastad. We are proud to continue an ancestral know-how and to share our Franco-Norwegian culture throughout the world. Our House is one of the few able to control internally each stage of Cognac production. The family thus defends three fundamental values that are its own: authenticity, traceability and quality.

 

"Today, our grapes come from our terroir, we work with local partners and we strive to have a sustainable production that respects the environment in which we live” 

Jan Braastad, Managing Director
