A little history
François Antoine Kirmann, was born in Bischoffsheim on 2nd October 1768, into a modest family of winegrowers.
He joined the army at age 17 and participated in all the campaigns of the Republic and the Empire. He was sent to virtually every place where there was combat.
He became a legend and was promoted commander-in-chief of the Mamelukes squadron. His exploits won him innumerable wounds, and the title of Baron of the Empire. This eventful life didn’t prevent him from marrying 3 times, and living to the ripe old age of 82!
We honor the memory of our exceptional ancestor by giving his name to our exceptional vintages..
