Description

Legend has it that Hubert Germain-Robin, the grandson of the last owner of Cognac Jules Robin, was disappointed that his family sold away the cognac company back in the day and that he undertook a long journey to the USA. Once in California, he coincidentally met in 1981 with Ansley Coale, owner of Coale’s Mendocino County ranch. They had a long discussion on cognac and mentioned the idea of having a distillery in California one day, perhaps together.

And they did. One year after they met they built together a distillery on the ranch in Ukiah, CA. Hubert brought back from France some old pot stills and he started using them experimenting with the local grape varietals as well as ugni blanc varietal which is the common grape used in cognac.
