The vineyard in l\u2019Hermitage is 13 hectars (32 acres) large with 12 hectars (29.6 acres) of ugni-blanc and 1 hectar (2.47 acres) of merlot, which is used for making Pineau des Charentes. The vineyard is currently changing as we have recently gotten new plantation rights to make our vines younger. Our oldest vine slot was planted back in 1964 by Anne-Marie and Michel.<\/p>

8 hectars (19.8 acres) are under production in Apremont, with a quite heterogenous soil for this tiny surface.<\/p>

These 2 vineyards, 60 kms far from each other require a rigourous organisation and make very different eaux-de-vie.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Up to the 18th century, l\u2019Hermitage lands used to be lordly woods, where Fran\u00e7ois 1st \u2013 born in Cognac -, King of France from 1515 to 1547, enjoyed hunting as a teenager. <\/p>

Our Lambert ancestors planted the 1st vineyard in l\u2019Hermitage during the French Revolution in the 1790\u2019s when the forest was shared among the peasants living in this area of the Borderies, the smallest and rarest Cognac Appellation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Apremont is located in the \u2018white P\u00e9rigord\u2019 in South-Charente area. There used to be many vineyards until the beginning of the 1870\u2019s when phylloxera almost wrecked the whole European vineyard.<\/p>

A few winemakers decided to replant vines just like the Bouvier family. Since 1800 they have been land owners in Apremont and we, as their grand-grand-children, keep making white wine, which we distill in l\u2019Hermitage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
