Famille Tribot L.T.96 Edition 1.1

There are families we first meet around a cask, and later find again around a table, a memory, or a conversation left unfinished. The Tribot family is one of them. Established in Criteuil-la-Magdeleine since the mid-19th century, they have carried, generation after generation, the same devotion to the vine, to distillation, and to the long passage of time that Cognac requires.

In the Tribot family, transmission was long passed from father to son. Régis, a demanding winegrower with a strong character, shaped the estate through his rigor and vision. A close friend of André Giraud, the renowned cellar master of Maison Rémy Martin, he received from him precious advice on distillation and ageing. By his side, Jean-Michel learned the craft for twenty-five years, before taking over the estate himself and preparing his son Samuel to continue the story.

For this first À la Main edition, we selected six casks from the Tribot estate. Lot 96, presented here, is the first fragment of that series. Distilled on the property and aged in the family chais, it carries within it the care given to the wine, the precision of distillation, and the love of work well done.

When Rémy Durovray met Jean-Michel, he was struck by the inscriptions covering his casks: numbers, names, markers, sometimes mysterious signs. Even before being interpreted, the casks already seemed like works of art in their own right. Rémy made them the starting point of his fresco: a living composition in which the marks of the chai become language, memory and movement.

Divided into six labels, this artwork accompanies the six selected casks. Each bottle stands on its own, but together they recompose the story of an estate, a family and a Cognac revealed by hand.
