Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Vertically integrated model: cultivation of barley on owned land, malting (Malterie des Hautes-Vosges), in-house mashing, two-stage fermentation (controlled then at open temperature), double distillation in Charentais stills, maturation in various types of casks and bottling on site.

Distillation

Double distillation in Charentais stills (pot still); the distillery uses two stills with indicated capacities of 3200 L and 1600 L; slow distillation for greater finesse.

Ageing

Maturation in oak casks across multiple cellars and finishing in casks that previously held wines and distillates (finish and double maturation practices). Use of both local oak and foreign oak casks.

Producer history Rozelieures (Distillerie Grallet-Dupic)

The Grallet family's activity on the site dates back to the late 19th century as an agricultural and fruit-growing business (the official site indicates the establishment of the arboriculture and cereal business in 1877). During the 20th century the family developed production and commercialisation of eau-de-vie (mirabelle). The whisky project emerged in the early 2000s from the collaboration between Sabine Grallet and Christophe Dupic; the first commercial single malt (Origine Collection) was launched in 2007. The company progressively integrated all production phases, acquiring its own malting floor and production equipment.

Production philosophy

To highlight the local terroir and control the entire supply chain (from the land to the glass). Strong focus on traceability, the use of ingredients grown on the estate and innovation while respecting single malt production traditions.

Territory

Rozelieures (Lorraine), in north-eastern France (Grand Est). The site is characterised by local soils and resources, with references to the nearby volcanic relief of Essey-la-Côte and oak forests used for cask production.

Awards and recognitions

Concours Général Agricole (Salon de l'Agriculture) 2020 — Maison de la Mirabelle / Distillerie de Rozelieures received multiple medals in the whisky section: gold and silver in the 'whisky de France de malt/single malt' category and gold in the 'whisky de France de malt tourbé' category.
