Lannepax

Armagnac Jean Cave

The origins of Armagnac brandy go back to the Middle Ages. In the fifteenth century, brandy was only a pharmacopoeian product, the aqua ardente which revived the dying and was used as an antidote during epidemics. It was after the Reformation in France in the sixteenth century that brandy rose to fame and achieved the status of a beverage.

Jean Cave' s ARMAGNAC house was established in 1883 at Lannepax, a little village in the heart of the Gers.
