Thanks to the acquisition of the last adjoining building in 2012, Michel Coste was able to reconstitute the architectural unity of the site, in typical 19th century style. The “Espace Guyenne” now hosts the visitor welcome area as well as the Meukow store. Determined to reinforce the impact of the Meukow brand, Michel Coste searched for a strong symbol that would evoke the quality of their; cognacs whilst distinguishing them from other brands. In 1993, he created what was to become the brand’s icon: “Le Félin”, a bottle decorated with a panther, a superb creature that symbolises strength, elegance and suppleness, the intrinsic values of Meukow cognacs.
