The History of a Name
The founders chose the name “Vieil Armand” because it’s this was the name that was given to the top of the Hartmanswillerkopf mountain. This mountain was an important battleground during the First World War (1914-1918).
Quality Wines

Between them they share 150ha of vineyards, stretching from Cernay and Guebwiller to the foot of the Hartmannswillerkopf mountain.
