We are a family creating Armagnac, a grape-based distilled spirit with roots dating from the 14th century. The epitome of a craft spirit, produced in very small quantities in Gascony, France. Land of troubadours, poets and musketeers.
"I love Armagnac. In cocktails, on the rocks, and in sips ...and also love drinking it straight from the barrel"
Cyrano
A new standard of premium spirits. Armagnacs exclusively designed for bartenders and sommeliers, from the liquid, to the bottle, to the story.
Armagnac must be matured in oak barrels. Oak barrels are permeable and they absorb a significant amount of liquid over time. As much as 5% of the volume of the new spirit we put into a cask will be quickly absorbed into the thirsty wood when it is initially filled – but it does not stop there.
Armagnac is tasted like wine, in three steps and three parts of your body are used: eyes, nose and mouth.
Cyrano is a poet and a soldier, a brawler and an incurable romantic… a hero. The first among men and totally lost among women. Blessed with being brilliant at everything, cursed by having the biggest nose in all of France.
Cyrano is hopelessly in love with Roxane, but he is too ashamed to confess his love for fear of rejection, so instead becomes a protector, a confidante and friend.
