It is at Barroux that we spend the week to discover some aspects. Who says Barroux thinks in particular of the medieval castle of the XIIth century: A medieval fort which thanks to Fanny and Jean-Baptiste Vayson de Pradennetheir young owners, are beginning a nice turn at… at least 40° Because it is at the Château du Barroux that the first Whiskey made from a local cereal is prepared!
Thanks to Fanny, oenologist, master blender and granddaughter of a distiller, introduced to distillation by her grandfather and her father, all winegrowers. For a year, everything has been ready to raise the first whiskey at the château, with an old still from 1928, capable of preserving the aromas as much as possible. Visit in the middle of a club of good-natured and kindly macho retirees. But the charismatic young woman gives them a good lesson in know-how and perhaps also good manners…
The Château du Barroux shop offers a fine selection of French Whiskey before the release of their own Whiskey, Fanny and Jean-Baptise offer you to pre-order it with a 10% discount
