Founded in 1858 by Amédée-Edouard Dor, the brand has a rich history of crafting fine cognacs. Originally a négociant, Dor shifted to producing his own cognacs, preserving eaux-de-vie at their peak maturity. Today, the house continues this legacy by crafting exceptional cognacs with a global appeal.
