The Origin
A story that begins in 1810 when Monsieur Francois Cabanne settles on the river Charente where the distillery of Cabanne was founded and is still located over 200 years later. The direct fire distillation of this cognac was made on lees, towards the beginning of the 20th of the century in the village of Bourg Charente, by the Cabanne family in the old distillery of Maine Gallard.
This very still was decommissioned long ago, but remains visible at Cabanne Distillery as a cherished heritage item.
Known in other parts of the world as Trebianno and originally a grape varietal from italy. Ugni Blanc is extremely well suited to all three Armagnac terroirs, it’s high acid and low alcohol wine makes for an excellent distillation. Universally known for producing high quality eau de vie with potential to be bottled young and also very old.
