Le Breuil

With whisky Le Breuil, Château du Breuil has succeeded in creating the first French single malt whisky produced entirely from Golden Promise barley, a variety known for producing whiskies with an intense malty character that are long and silky on the palate.

By selecting this variety for its first range, Château du Breuil has favoured quality over quantity. Indeed, Golden Promise barley has the particularity of having a low yield per hectare (1/3 lower than current varieties) and pure alcohol (10% lower than current varieties).

Double distillation in pots still. Maturing in 200/250L French & American barrels.

Joseph Cartron

Joseph Cartron has been and remains a family business since 1882, with strong roots in the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the heart of Burgundy’s cru vineyards.
Since July 2011, Judith Cartron is President of the company, thus representing the fifth generation and the first woman at the head of the company.
For the production of its Crèmes and Liqueurs, the company selects the fruit varieties the closest in spirit to the Burgundian terroir, the most aromatic, those that are most likely to reveal their very singular perfume in pure alcohol and this even if they are more fragile, more costly and more difficult to find.
For the production of its Eaux-de-Vie, Joseph Cartron buys the whole harvest of Williams pears from the orchards, including the big fruits, the tastier, those usually kept for table consumption.

United States

Wine has been produced in the United States since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628.

Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states but 84% of all US wine is produced in California, over 90% in the states of California, Washington, and Oregon.

The United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

The North American continent is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers.

Vérité

Vérité Winery is a wine producer based in Sonoma County in California. It is most famous for its three Bordeaux-styled blends: La Muse, La Joie, and Le Désir, which have all received 100-point scores from American wine critic Robert Parker over several vintages.

The Vérité estate is a vision created by the late Jess Jackson, a man who in Robert Parker’s eyes “was one of the most extraordinary men in the wine world I have ever met.”  These wines always rate very highly.

The wines of Vérité, French for “truth,” are the result of a combination of old world experience and new world fruit. The wine is a distinct blend of varietals harvested from small vineyard blocks, each cuvée culminating in a bespoke union of grape varieties, climate, soil expression and winemaking technique.  Vigneron Pierre Seillan refers to this methodology as droit du sol: “right of the soil.”

“The wines are elegant and complex, possessing superb concentration of flavor and color. These are wines meant to age over the next thirty years and will develop greater depth and character in your cellar.” Pierre Seillan, winemaker
