GERMAIN-ROBIN Lot No’s. 1-6 Fine Alambic Brandy – Mixed 6pk: 6-bottle case of Lot No's 1 through 6, now richer after up to 39 years in bottle. Every one of the Lots was an individual blend, never duplicated: different vintages, different ages, different grapes. The Lots contained some older brandies as the Germain-Robin cellar grew, but most of them would have an average age at bottling of 4-5 years; we liked the forward fruitiness of younger brandies. French Colombard and Pinot Noir were always the dominant varietals. Only 4 cases left. 1 case per customer.  Counts as 1 bottle towards shipping discount; price has been reduced to cover shipping.

ANSLEY’S Alambic Brandy – Release No. 3 (2025): In 2017, Joe Corley blended some of the brandies he distilled into a single batch for aging: pinot noir from Roederer, French colombard for Potter Valley, some rare chenin blanc from Fetzer, and two aromatic grapes: muscat and viognier. For the final blend, he added what was left in barrel of Ansley's No.2. One of our finest. 198 bottles.

ANSLEY’S Alambic Brandy – Release No. 2 (2024): A blend of three pinot noir brandies, most of it from the Todd Vineyard in Potter Valley, whose cooler climate yielded a brandy of superbly complex fruitiness. Cellared in Limousin oak and bottled unfiltered. Among the best ever distilled on the former Germain-Robin antique cognac still: subtle richness. Don’t miss this one. Only 200 bottled.

ANSLEY’S Alambic Brandy – Release No. 1 (2023): 2013 blend of three brandies distilled by Germain-Robin from Roederer Estate pinot noir in 2002, 2003, and 2004. The blend was aged an additional 10 years, then bottled straight from the cask, unfiltered. Rich, subtle, wonderful fruit, great length. Truly fabulous: a cognac of this quality would sell for at least $1500. A bargain.

GERMAIN-ROBIN Small Blend no. 2: 1984 Gamay, rich 1989 old-vine Colombard, and an elegant 1994 Pinot Noir from Napa’s Clos du Val. Truly great brandy: buy this. 

GERMAIN-ROBIN Small Blend no. 3: 1996 Roederer Pinot Noir, 1985 Gamay, two 1997 Colombards, and a 1996 blend of aromatics: Muscat, Riesling, & Viognier. Extraordinary richness, balance, and complexity.

GERMAIN-ROBIN Barrel V154 Chenin Blanc: Single barrel of 1985 old-vine Chenin Blanc from the Wegner vineyard. It has aged absolutely perfectly: deep Chenin fruit, huge concentration of flavor. The aromatics are wonderfully intense. We have 12 bottles. Limit 1 bottle per customer.  

GERMAIN-ROBIN Barrel 351: Single barrel of 1987 Pinot Noir from the Welch vineyards in Potter Valley. Great concentration of flavor, the angel’s share over 27 years leaving 44.9% from the original 71%. Our most noble brandy. 30 bottles remain. Limit 1 bottle per customer.

GERMAIN-ROBIN Augustín’s Blend: Pinot Noirs from 1988 and 1989, with a touch of Colombard, aged for 22 years in a 50-liter cask. Colombard fruit, way deeper now, and beautifully long Pinot refinement. Limit 1 bottle per customer.

GERMAIN-ROBIN Cask 17.2: Our best stuff, 25-30 years old, married another year in a tiny cask that holds only 15 bottles worth. A customer after tasting it bought 6  bottles: “I don’t want to drink anything else.” This is the second batch, of which we still have 8 bottles. Rich rich rich/deep deep deep. It takes some 35 minutes to fully open in the glass. Limit 1 bottle per customer.
