Janneau have been producing France’s oldest spirit since Pierre Etienne Janneau founded the maison in 1851. Key to the quality of Janneau’s Armagnacs are its distillery and cellars in Condom, an ancient city located in the heart of the Armagnac region. Uniquely, Janneau are the only major house that distils, blends and ages its own stocks under its own roof. Many other Maisons will produce their ‘Eau du Vie’ at a cooperative distillery or by using one of the regions classic ‘mobile stills’ which travel from producer to producer. Having access to their own distillery gives Janneau complete control over the quality and personality of their Armagnac. Armagnac is distilled from the region’s white wines, made from Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanc and Baco. Like most of the region’s larger producers, Janneau are not vineyard owners or winemakers. This means that they are not tied to a single vineyard and have the freedom to source the best wines of the vintage from any of Armagnac’s three sub regions – favouring the best – Bas Armagnac and Ténarèze.
