Savoir-Faire

We might have no sympathy for the devil, but we’d rather live in the memory motel than in a yellow submarine. And as with any band, quality requires continuity.

The daily tasting of a dozen of eaux-de-vie, and a small notebook, are his best tools to adjust with precision the blends as well as the exceptional vintage Armagnacs.

Legend has it that when God created the earth, He forgot a small corner of Gascony, which made Him very sad. A tear ran down His cheek and when it fell to the ground, it formed the region of Armagnac. In reality, Armagnac is a protected designation of origin.
