ブール＝シャラントのおすすめライド

ラ・バインのサイト、シャニエールにあるものは、現在の製粉所よりもはるかに古いものです。 14世紀：最初の製粉所の証拠 1310年の文書には、ラ・バインに布地用の製粉所があったことが記されています。これらは川床に打ち込まれた杭の上に建てられ、特に織物を叩くために使用されていました。 これらの製粉所は当時、サントの司教座聖堂参事会に属していました。数年前にラ・マルシュ伯爵によって破壊されていました。 1313年、参事会は2つの製粉所、堰、漁場の再建許可を得ました。 17世紀：コルベールの王立製粉所 ラ・バインが大きな重要性を帯びたのは17世紀です。 5つの小麦製粉所の複合施設が、航行には使用されていなかったシャラント川の支流に再建されました。 1630年頃、製粉所はシャルルとジャック・デュヴァル兄弟が所有していました。彼らは実質的な所有権を持っていましたが、シャニエールの領地はサント・ピエール大聖堂の参事会に属していました。 その後、ルイ14世の財務長官であり海軍大臣であったジャン＝バティスト・コルベールが登場します。 1670年頃、コルベールは生産能力を大幅に向上させるために製粉所を改修・拡張しました。新しい複合施設は7つの水路を持ち、当時この地域で最も強力な製粉所の一つとなりました。 なぜコルベールはラ・バインに興味を持ったのか？ その理由は、ロシュフォールの海軍工廠の設立と発展に直接関係していました。 製粉所は主に、王立海軍の船員の食料となる小麦と大麦の粉を生産していました。 穀物はシャラント川をガバル（平底船）に乗って到着しました。製粉所に荷を降ろした後、ガバルは特にロシュフォール向けの小麦粉を積んで出発しました。 したがって、ラ・バインの製粉所は、シャラント川とロシュフォールを中心に組織された、真の王立産業および物流システムの一部でした。 19世紀：段階的な変革 19世紀には、製粉業が続けられました。 古い製粉所は徐々に真の工業施設へと変貌しました。1845年には、5人の異なる製粉業者によってこの場所が操業されていました。 1897年以降、ラルディ氏によって徐々に複合施設が統合され、彼は設備を近代化し、機械を導入しました。その後、彼の息子であるレミー・ラルディが後を継ぎました。 20世紀：製粉工場 1930年代には、製粉所は真の工業製粉工場になっていました。 その能力は1日あたり約50クインタール（約2.5トン）の小麦に達しました。 1936年には、直径約5メートルの複数の水車によって水力が供給されていました。総取水量は約4メートル、落差は1.50メートルでした。 設備には特に以下が含まれていました： ダブル粉砕機2基； ダブルコンバーター1基； 一対の石臼； プランシフター1基； ふるい分け機5基。 製粉業は最終的に20世紀半ばに停止しました。資料によると、製粉工場か製粉業の完全な消滅かによって、産業活動の停止は1940年から1960年の間とされています。 今日 建物は保存され、レストランに改装されましたが、特に水車や古い機械の一部など、産業時代の顕著な要素は保持されています。 ラ・バイン製粉所は現在、シャラント川沿いのシャニエール、コルベール通り14番地、17610にあります。 特に興味深い点 製粉所、ダム、閘門は、歴史的に切り離せない複合体を形成しています。ただし、現在のダムは近代的な改修を受けています。2012年の県令により、特にラ・バイン製粉所の水力構造物はクラスDのダムに分類されています。

HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF HINE In 1791, Thomas Hine (1775-1822), then aged 16, left his native land on the south coast of England to go to France… in the middle of the French Revolution. He went to Jarnac, Charente, where he was hired as a clerk in the Ranson et Delamain trading house, which produced his father’s favourite cognac. James Delamain (1738-1800), a Huguenot who had emigrated from Ireland, founded the trading house in 1763 with his father-in-law Jean-Isaac Ranson. On 3 October 1797 (13 Brumaire Year VI), Thomas Hine married Françoise Élisabeth Delamain, daughter of James Delamain and Marie Ranson. In 1817, the Ranson et Delamain house was liquidated, the heirs having been unable to agree on the succession. The eponymous son-in-law founded Thomas Hine & Co, and his cousins Paul Roullet and Henri Delamain (James' grandson) founded the Maison Roullet et Delamain seven years later, which would become Delamain et Cie. The links between the two Protestant Jarnac families remained close, and Thomas Hine's great-granddaughter, Adrienne Hine (1850-1922) married Philippe Delamain (1847-1902) - they had sons Jacques and Robert Delamain. Today, as in Thomas Hine's time, the Hine establishments line the banks of the Charente in Jarnac. The logo is inspired by Hine's speaking arms, hind meaning doe in Old English. He is lying down, his head turned backwards, symbolically looking towards England2. In 1962, Hine was granted the Royal Warrant of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and became the official supplier of cognac to the Court of England. In 1987, the company was bought by Moët Hennessy. In 2003, it became the property of the CL Financial group, which emerged from the Angostura group. The House was bought in 2013 by the Edv company. TYPOLOGY OF HINE EAUX DE VIE The House of HINE is located on the banks of the Charente, in the heart of the Cognac region. In the cellars, which ensure the protection of the precious vintages under seal, little has changed in more than 260 years. From the neighboring quays once began the journey of HINE cognacs around the world. This house is one of the oldest in Jarnac. Cognacs exclusively from the Grande and Petite Champagne vintages, a distillation with the lees, and an aging in fine grains with a light to moderate heating.

HISTORY BOURG GRAVES SAINT AMANT Like its neighbor Angeac, the parish of Saint-Amant-de-Graves was a dependency of the seigneury of Vibrac. During the Revolution, the commune of Saint-Amant-de-Graves was provisionally called Amant-Charente. On January 1, 1997, the commune of Graves merged with that of Saint-Amant-de-Graves which then took the name of Graves-Saint-Amant. HISTORY CHURCH GRAVES SAINT AMANT The village of Graves is home to a parish church, the Saint-Martin church built in the 12th and 15th centuries. The latter contains in particular a mural painting (main shades red and yellow) dating approximately from the 15th century apparently representing a biblical scene (restored in 1977), which is classified as a historical monument as an object. The church has been listed as a historical monument since 1986. The church of Saint-Amant was given in 1124 by the Bishop of Angoulême, Girard II, to the Abbey of Savigny, who gave it to the priory of Bouteville. The latter kept the parish until the end of the 15th century. In 1460, Saint-Amant was the seat of a priory of its own. Unfortunately, the Wars of Religion were detrimental to it, and it was suppressed in 1580. The church of Graves, which formerly depended on the archdeaconry of Saintes, occupies a picturesque site on the left bank of the Charente. It forms a long rectangle in plan. The nave is composed of a long single bay under a barrel vault, originally Romanesque, but rebuilt at a later date. A square bay under a bell tower follows it. It is vaulted with ribbed liernes. A similar bay, whose vault bears a large, crude shield as a keystone, forms a choir with a flat chevet. Its axial bay is slightly offset to the north. The façade, high under an obtuse triangular gable, bears a cornice with modillions decorated with animals and human masks. The portal has two bare semicircular arches, separated by a chamfered joint cover with large sculpted flowers. The capitals of the side columns have been redone. Between the top of the portal and the level of the pediment, four large stone corbels once supported a canopy. Below, an enigmatic relief, probably late, shows a bearded face between the sun and the moon. The side walls have flat buttresses ending in glacis. They show that the nave, before its renovation, had two short bays. The bell tower is a beautiful piece of architecture. It has a bare base and an openwork floor with two semi-circular bays on each side. A spiral serves it in the southwest corner. Its bays were once separated in two by a small column that supported a small monolithic bare tympanum notched with two arches, and surmounted by a circular opening. This arrangement has been partially preserved. The exterior of the choir has bays from the end of the 12th century, and others probably after the Wars of Religion. Furniture: in the north wall of the bay under the bell tower, a painting shows a kneeling donor on the left, three figures against a background of yellow and red flowers, and, on the right, a priest saying mass near a kneeling altar boy. Despite the state of wear, which has made the inscriptions accompanying the scene illegible in particular, one can see the "Mass of Saint Martin", patron saint of the church. On the north wall of the choir there is another painting showing several scenes from the Passion: Jesus in the Garden of Olives, the arrest of Christ, Christ before Pilate, and the flagellation. These paintings are late, popular in style and somewhat naive.

1656 - Birth of the BRILLET House The Brillet House is located in Graves-Saint-Amant, in a place called Les Aireaux, in an enchanting setting, on the edge of the bucolic Charente. The story begins in 1656 with the birth of Guy Brillet, founding father of the wine estate in the very heart of the Cognac region. 1850 - Creation of the Négoce Vivien Brillet, 7th generation, inaugurates the trading house in 1850, creating a distillery and cellars. This is the beginning of the growth of the Brillet House that Raymond and his son Jean will develop at the turn of the 1920s, creating their own brand of Cognac, in Petite and Grande Champagne (the first two Cognac vintages) and Pineau des Charentes. Thus, 10 generations of the Brillet family succeed one another, passing on and passionately keeping the family heritage alive. 1985 - Creation of a Cognac and Pear liqueur Belle de Brillet It was in 1985 that Jean-Louis Brillet created Belle de Brillet, whose name pays homage to his "Belle", his wife Isabelle. Together, they worked passionately to promote Belle de Brillet, a unique liqueur combining Pear and Cognac with its distinctive pear-shaped bottle. Very quickly, it established itself as the flagship of the House. 2020 - Acquisition of Maison Brillet by the Rémy-Cointreau Group, which also cultivates 50 hectares of vines in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Its Cognac comes from a single vineyard, certified HVE3, planted with the traditional Ugni Blanc grape variety. It is located in an atypical terroir of Fins Bois, on hillsides overlooking the Gironde estuary, and benefiting from the temperate influence of the Atlantic Ocean. These eaux-de-vie are the result of a double distillation without lees in a traditional Charente still, and are aged partly in new oak barrels. They have round, fruity and floral notes, ideal for a harmonious marriage with pear eaux-de-vie. > For more information: https://belledebrillet.com/ > Address: “Les Aireaux” 22 route de Graves 16120 Graves-St-Amant. > Visit, Tasting and Purchases possible: Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday: 9:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Private & professional contact visit: contact@brillet.fr / +336 76 01 10 10
