Visit and tasting of the Vercors Distillery
Your host:

Three years ago, Éric and Anne-Hélène Cordelle settled in a former magnanery at the foot of the Vercors Regional Natural Park. Their project? Create an organic whisky distillery near pure spring water. And, after a site visit, it is clear that they are well on their way! Arriving at the Vercors distillery, even before pushing the door, one can only be struck by the charm of the place. The setting is magnificent and the old magnanerie – silkworm factory – imposes it by its architecture of the 17th century. A first impression of beauty that will be confirmed by the discovery of the interior, as the owners have focused on renovating the place with a certain sense of aesthetics ... And with professionalism: the objective here is to make whiskey, and not just any! 100% organic Wishing for a radical change of life – moving from office work to distillation is not common! -, the couple is looking for the ideal site for a long time, with the desire to produce something that they can share with others. For Eric, an engineer by training, whisky quickly became a no-brainer. And even before he can make this project a reality, he is training and carrying out research on taste within the AgroParisTech Institute. Because, even if it means embarking on the manufacture of this high-end spirit, we might as well aim high: why not decide to work in 100% Organic? An achievable ambition, provided you master all the stages of manufacturing, and settle in a suitable place.
