ABOUT

PRODUCER
INFORMATION

The first vintage of L’Ormarins Sagnac was only distilled in 2007, but the journey started in 2005 for Anthonij Rupert Wyne when Johann Rupert initiated the search for an alembic still. Armagnac as a category however is much, much older and was established, by all accounts around 1387 when French Royalty started taking an interest in it.

A completely natural brandy, blended with pure water made in the style of the traditional Armagnac. The golden-amber of true eau de vie. The grapes were sourced from Robertson. These grapes are cultivated on clay soils, underlined with limestone, which tends to have a high water retention capacity. The vineyards were trellised by means of vertical shoot positioning.
