Logis de la Mothe is a formed brandname of Andre Jullien, a French producer and owner of a family business which started in 1865. Although production sort of halted in the 1980's it took until 2017 before the announcement came that they would only sell their Cognac, in bulk, to the large producers. This is really a shame as Logis de la Mothe is arguably one of the best Cognacs ever produced. Vieille Reserve was the oldest expression in their humble range.
