Alexandre Gabriel’s intention was to breathe new life into the Ferrand cognacs and make it the world’s best cognac. He wanted to maintain age-old, craft-based production methods which were worlds apart from mass production techniques and sought to bring back to market the true expression of Grande Champagne’s – known as Cognac’s finest region – the great terroir. The embodiment of authenticity and
character are the core values that Maison Ferrand has built its business upon. Firstly with cognac, then with other distinctive fine spirits such as gin, whose particular character is based on a unique production method, and rums with which are matured using a very special technique. Nowadays, Maison Ferrand is a highly regarded company that distributes its fine spirits to more than 40 countries, in some of the world’s most prestigious outlets. Maison Ferrand draws on a dynamic team of people who nurture a passionate interest in what they do. Micaela Piccolo, chosen to represent the company in 14 countries across Asia Pacific, joined Maison Ferrand in 2017 looking after the company’s portfolio of spirits including Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Plantation Rum and Citadelle Gin. “I am beyond thrilled to belong to a team of such passionate and inspiring people,” said Piccolo. “It also helps that I have a real emotional connection to Maison Ferrand and their products – let’s just say, a lot of Pineapple Rum was consumed on my wedding day. Alexandre Gabriel knows how to make a spirit that evokes the happiest of feelings.”
