[Select Barrel XO] [Single Barrel Brandies] [Anno Domini] [Shareholders Reserve] [Grappa]

one of the "Five Cognacs of the Century" RICHARD CARLETON HACKER

The Germain-Robin distillery in 1982.

"A miraculously dense and complex brandy
made mostly from pinot noir...superior to Paradis…
equal to the best very old single-vintage,
small producer cognacs"
                                                       NEW YORK TIMES                                                                             

"With their recent release, Ansley Coale and his partner, Cognac expatriate
Hubert Germain-Robin, have established a standard by which to judge all such distilled spirits"
                                                                                                                                LOS ANGELES TIMES

When we released the Anno Domini 2000 in 1999, we dumbfounded the reviewers. The brandy was universally received as one of the finest spirit ever produced, equal or superior to the best cognacs. The Anno Domini 2001
was named "brandy of the year" by the Spirit Journal, ahead of the $5,000 Courvoisier L'Esprit cognac.

Anno Domini is a limited annual release, just over one barrel, blended from our finest aged brandies. The components were produced from wines of a quality never before used for distillation: world-class Pinot Noirs, with a touch of old-vine Palomino, the grape of sherry. Rigorously selected for extended aging, the brandy is brought to full maturity in air-dried Limousin oak. 

Hubert Germain-Robin's family produced cognac for two centuries. He uses patient, time-honored methods that have almost entirely disappeared in France. Due to its origin in exceptional wine, the Anno Domini is extraordinarily rich in flavor,  yet remains subtle and delicate, passing like silk over the palate. Hand-numbered bottles, individually boxed. $350.00.

"Superb. Arresting. Some of the world's finest, period"
                                                                                           BON APPETIT/ANTHONY DIAS BLUE
