La Goutte continue

You’ve reached distillation at Cazottes, father and son! Beware, stopping here means you may want to stay. And why not? The landscape of the Cordais plateau is stunning a gently rolling region offering a rich diversity of exposures and terroirs, close to Gaillac and Albi, where vineyards and orchards have flourished for millennia.

In Villeneuve-sur-Vère, the Distillery and Domaine Cazottes carry on the tradition of organic farming, inspired by biodynamic practices, with a deep respect for nature.

Focusing on the purest flavors of the estate's produce— grapes, fruits, flowers, grains, and plants—Laurent Cazottes elevates their very essence into his wines, spirits, liqueurs, and spirited delights. This is the fruit of titanic labor, entirely handmade, attracting gourmets and connoisseurs alike, from top chefs to fine drink enthusiasts.

This is Free Spirit.

Here, the goal is to capture the quintessence of each ingredient so that the final product retains only the authentic, pure fragrance and taste.

In 2010, Laurent drew upon his family heritage to craft his first wine. His aim was to produce a simple wine using the region’s indigenous grape varieties, many of which had been abandoned by winemakers at the time. Varieties like Mauzac Rose and Alicante, which were nearly extinct, are now part of his production.

Since 2018, Joanna Dubrawska, who previously worked with COS in Sicily, oversees the winemaking process and leads the Maninalto project.

Today, the vineyard spans 4 hectares, producing 14,500 bottles annually, distributed across 11 countries.
