MICHEL COUVREUR Vin Jaune Maturation Single Malt 9 Years Old Ed.2024 48% 50cl France
Distilled on February 1, 2015, aged 9 years in various Vin Jaune (yellow wine) casks from Stéphane Tissot in Jura. The casks come from different appellations: Mailloche, Bruyères, Château Chalon, Spois...: a concentration of Savagnin - 2000 500ml bottles produced.
Whiskies signed by Michel Couvreur are synonymous with aging, maturation, sherry casks... Michel Couvreur had a very personal vision of whisky and dedicated his work and research to the evolution of whisky since 1978. It is in galleries dug into the heart of the Burgundy rock, in an impressive humidity level, silence and calm at a depth of 10m, that the whiskies evolve, mature, and grow. All of this is combined with a selection of enviable casks from the finest bodegas and estates, and the whiskies achieve a style and nobility after several years of maturation. Even though Michel passed away in 2013, the strength and work continue in the good hands of his cellar master Jean Arnaud Frantzen and his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps, supported by Michel's wife, Marthe, and his daughter Alexandra.
