Dark and stormy nights tormented the Duchy of Aosta way back in 1559. The troops of the King of France surrounded the valley and the occupation was now imminent. However, a young gentleman, René, count of Challant, baron of Aymavilles, lord of Chatillon, Ussel, Saint-Marcel, Graines and Verrès, with skilful diplomacy and without resorting to the use of arms, avoided the worst. Today we dedicate him this Brandy, distilled in Quart, with a discontinuous alembic in a bain-marie. Product obtained from Chardonnay and Cornalin grapes grown in the Aosta Valley by the Rosset Terroir farm.
