Michel Couvreur: the art of whisky aged in Burgundy
A visionary pioneer, Michel Couvreur was a Burgundy wine merchant with a passion for whisky. After studying distillation in Scotland, he settled in Bouze-lès-Beaune where he developed a unique approach: maturing Scottish whiskies in Sherry and Port casks in an exceptional cellar carved out of the rock. According to him, " 90% of the quality of a whisky comes from the cask ." Today, his daughter, son-in-law, and their cellar master perpetuate this expertise in 150 meters of underground galleries offering ideal maturation conditions: freshness, humidity, and silence. Each cask is carefully selected, each bottle is corked, waxed, and labeled by hand , with total respect for craftsmanship. An independent bottler, Michel Couvreur never mentions the distillery of origin. This radical choice reflects his conviction: more than a terroir, it is the maturing process that makes the soul of whisky. The result? Spirits of exceptional roundness , with deep and complex aromas , acclaimed worldwide. An essential signature of traditional French whisky.
