Our company was founded in 1858 by Mr. Auguste Staub, a Swiss businessman. Regularly on the road, he built up his business internationally, establishing steady-and long-lasting relationships.
However, in 1876, the terrible outbreak of phylloxera swept through the vineyards, causing a considerable damage. The harvests were wiped out and the stocks dangerously depleted.
Fortunately, thanks to substantial reserves, Staub was less stricken by the shortage than others. Also, to create more stocks, it astutely spread its supplies over into vineyards that were less affected by the disease, setting its stills up there.
These vineyards, located to the north-west and south of what is currently referred to as the Cognac region, were producing quality white wines that lent themselves well to distillation. In this way, by stepping slightly outside the Cognac cradle, Staub became a kind of forerunner, developing fine liquors using the tried-and-tested ancestral techniques employed in the Cognac region.
Thanks to the quality of the company’s products and the energy of its promoter, Staub made a true name for itself, becoming a reference all over Europe. It even went on to win a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1889.
