WHAT WE DO
Reviving a Cognac distillery of our ancestors, with the skills and knowledge from today. When crafting our cognac we keep in mind that the best pleasures are the simple ones.
The Origins
Based on a true story.
On his trips around the world, Felix Dumay, godfather of the brand, always carried a small bottle of Cognac from his family distillery which he liked to share with those he met and appreciated.
A Six Vineyards
Cognac
Dumay is made with the very best grapes from six vineyards in the Cognac area, which are all located within driving range of the Dumay production.
The Secret is in the Roots
Roots reaching 12 meters into the soil pick up natural elements from the underlying bedrock, providing Dumay Cognac with a distinct and authentic fruity taste.
THE TERMS WE USE
#dumayrepublic - the place where we feel at home.
#dumaymoments - the perfect time of day.
“ Delicate but slightly exotic, with notes of tropical fruit. Clean, light and well integrated, a thoroughly enjoyable relaxed cognac.”

The roots.
Roots reaching 12 meters into the soil pick up natural elements from the underlying bedrock, providing Dumay cognac with a distinct and authentic taste. Our vineyards are grown on limestone formed up to 68 million years ago.
Ever wondered why you cannot find the exact age of a Cognac on a bottle?
Around the Dumay estate, what you see on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg.
Local geology
Our vineyards are grown on limestone bedrock formed up to 68 million years ago.
Each parcel has a different geology that will give different cognac.
We are working with our in-house geologist to get a perfect understanding of the geology of each of our 6 vineyards.
