It was with Jean Cavé, in 1883, that this fabulous story began. Jean Cavé is a winegrower in Lannepax when he moved "breeder" surrounded by his wife and two sons.

It is in the tradition of family history that Cavé continues its development in the spirit of the places and the same passion for the Armagnacais terroir.

A very important range

Listening to the history of the Jean Cavé house, we imagine how impressive the range of its products is. The vintages (from the end of the 20th century to the 2000s) rub shoulders with assemblies that highlighted young brandy like Armagnacs of a great diversity of origin. For several years already, the house Jean Cavé Also embarked on the adventure of mixology by offering Armagnacs adapted to the expectations of barmen.

Our favorite: vintage 1973

In this huge range of very good quality brandies, our attention was paid to the Jean Cavé 1973. Brilliant and clear dress for this Armagnac distilled in 1973. On the nose, its aromas are wooded with vanilla notes, cocoa and sweet spices to end on a high complexity. On the palate, the attack is frank with a lot of roundness. The tannins are rich and very present, without aggressiveness. Great complexity in the final with grilled and intense wooden notes.
