Distillerie Cazottes
★ Partner ProducerInter-row crops are used to naturally enrich the soil, complemented by the use of artisanal decoctions. Certified organic since the vines were planted in 2000, he seeks to respect and understand the vegetative cycles unique to each fruit he grows. All the plots are harvested by hand and, both on the land and in the cellar, Laurent minimises the use of synthetic additives as much as possible, in order to reveal fruit that is as true to its origin as possible.
A portion of its production involves distilling grape pomace to make brandy. The origins of the grapes for the pomace come from various famed vineyards such as Clos Joliette (Jurancon), Jules Métras (Beaujolais), and Gramenon (Rhône).
Laurent Cazottes defines himself as a distiller and vine-grower. He cultivates 600 Williams pear trees, 200 Reine Claude Dorée plum trees, as well as four hectares of vines composed of the native varieties of Mauzac Rose, Prunelart, Duras, and Folle Noir. These are planted on south-west facing slopes, with varied soils depending on the different plots, but are mostly constituted of a limestone subsoil and clay on the surface.
