Single Malt Whisky ~ VJ Maturation ~ 10 y.o. 2021 ~ 500mL
This rare single malt whisky from Michel Couvreur is an exclusive cross-over with one of the Jura's finest wine producers, Stephan Tissot. The spirit was distilled on 05 Feb 2009 and shipped to the MC cellars in Burgundy where it was filled into decades-old casks previously used for Tissot’s exquisite Vin Jaune wine, impregnated with all of its complex flavors. After 10 years maturing in the most humid part of the cellars, this whisky is now brimming with the intense energy of a very special wine.
Winery
Michel Couvreur had a very personal, and truly revolutionary vision of what whisky should be: more than terroir, more than the distiller’s touch, it was the maturing in oak casks that truly helped the grain spirit become whisky. From 1978 on, having settled in the French region of Burgundy, he decided to make it his life’s work and to dedicate his research to a process which he once compared to cross-fertilisation.
Michel Couvreur passed away in 2013; his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps and his cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, with the invaluable help of Michel’s devoted wife Marthe and his daughter Alexandra, follow to the letter the philosophy and the motto of the house: Virtute et Opera.
