Germain-Robin 7 Year Old California Alambic Brandy is an aged California brandy from Germain-Robin — the pioneering Mendocino producer that broke free from the constraints of Cognac, hand-distilling California wine grapes in traditional alembic Cognac stills. A fruit-forward, oak-balanced brandy aged seven years.

Germain-Robin began as the unlikely union of Ansley Coale, a professor driving a Northern California highway, and Hubert Germain-Robin, a hitchhiking Cognac distiller. Together they created the first California brandy made with traditional alembic stills but using unconventional, flavorful California wine grapes — setting a new, internationally recognized standard for American brandy.
