JANNEAU, the leading brand-name in Armagnac category
When producing its Armagnacs, Maison Janneau only uses natural white wine with no additives or preservatives, obtained based on traditional winemaking methods. These wines originate from the best grape varieties : Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Baco. The soil characteristics have an influence on the flavour of the wines, these being fruitier and more delicate in the Bas-Armagnac area, or more robust and full-flavoured in the Ténarèze and Haut-Armagnac regions. The natural wine is distilled after fermentation.

In 1972, Janneau reintroduced the double distillation method into the region. This was the still distillation method originally used in Armagnac. Unique of their kind in Gascony, Maison Janneau’s double distillation stills capture the essential character of each of these brandies and all the finesse and complexity of their aromas.

The precious brandy is then slowly aged in 450 liters oak casks in the darkness of Janneau’s ancient cellars. It takes several years before the brandy acquires its characteristic amber colour and its many aromatic notes develop.

This is then followed by blending, a delicate art requiring long experience. With his 34 years’ experience, Maison Janneau’s Cellar Master jealously protects the secrets used to produce great Armagnacs. He blends the brandy according to the particular personality he wishes to give the Armagnac : fruity for the Blend range, or fresh and floral for the Single Distillery range.
