Among the exhibits there are real instruments of labour of French wine-growers and coopers, mysterious accessories of cognac craftsmen, real alembic which was created in 1900. This was the first alembic brought into Russia.

The exposition visually represents all the long way of cognac from grape to mature, aged in oak barrels beverage.
