Technical sheet
Malt: Malt comes from the Marne region. At the Guillon distillery, it is ground and then mixed with hot water to create a sugar-laden malt juice.
Fermentation: A unique method; the Guillon distillery uses yeasts from the Champagne region and then adds sugar to stimulate fermentation.
Distillation: The Guillon distillery carries out a double distillation. At the end of the second distillation, 80% ABV alcohol is recovered. A first dilution is made with spring water before the distillate is put into barrels.
Ageing: After 7 years ageing in white Burgundy barrel, a second 12 months ageing called ‘finition’ was carried out in 3 M. Hostomme oak barrels which were successively used for 4 vinifications of Chardonnay Grand Cru de Chouilly.
