Menuet Cognacs sold to a Chinese Buyer

Many years ago Brandyclassics bought cognacs from Menuet Cognacs; they were great cognacs and the cellar contained some very special stock from 1947 and some superb 50 y.o. Unfortunately the company got into a lot of trouble and the firms owner sold most of his stock and bought cheaper cognacs from a well known and very good negoçiant whom Brandyclassics brought together, so that they were able to carry on with the name, supplying markets particularly in Russia.

This month we have heard that the name Menuet has been sold to a Chinese buyer, the first Chinese venture into cognac. We understand that there was some family concern at the sale since the firm was established in 1850.
