Distillation and production

Production method

Janneau employs both techniques permitted by the appellation: continuous distillation with the alambic armagnacais and double distillation with the alambic charentais; the eaux-de-vie obtained are then blended and aged according to the desired aromatic profile.

Distillation

Continuous distillation with the alambic armagnacais and double distillation with the alambic charentais; the eaux-de-vie from the two techniques are blended in the Maison's assemblages.

Ageing

Aging in 400-liter French oak casks; a specific aeration process involves emptying and mixing casks from the same lot to homogenize development, with transfers into older casks to balance wood and fruit.

Producer history Janneau

Founded in 1851 in Condom by Pierre-Étienne Janneau, Maison Janneau is one of the oldest and most important Armagnac houses. During the 20th century it contributed to the return of double distillation in Armagnac (restored following a request by Janneau in 1972). The company became part of the Spirit France group (acquisition/participation announced in 2014).

Production philosophy

Combining tradition and innovation: preserving the heritage of the region's historic blends by combining the characteristics of different distillation techniques and applying controlled aging to highlight the balance between fruit and wood.

Territory

Armagnac region (mainly Bas-Armagnac and Ténarèze), production site in Condom, department of Gers, France.

Awards and recognitions

The Janneau range has received recognitions and medals at international competitions (e.g., ISC / International Spirits Challenge, IWSC, San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Concours de Bruxelles, Concours Général Agricole) reported on official product sheets.
