Distillerie du Petit Grain - Bigarades Gin Collection
The Distillerie du Petit Grain is ideally located in Saint-Jean de Minervois, in the heart of the Hérault, a region renowned for the richness of its terroirs. This artisanal micro-distillery was passionately founded by Patricia and Laurent Gaspard, a couple committed to producing exceptional spirits. Their expertise is based on the use of a copper pot still with direct fire made in the prestigious workshops of Jean-Louis Stupfler, a craftsman whose reputation crosses borders and equips the most demanding French and international distilleries. This traditional process, requiring perfect mastery, allows precise heating and optimizes the extraction of authentic and delicate aromas.
To guarantee the superior quality of their eaux-de-vie, the couple rigorously selects fruits from organic farming. These fruits, chosen at their optimal maturity and healthy, reflect their philosophy centered on respect for the terroir, the seasons, and ancestral methods. Every step is done by hand: apricots are pitted manually, the marc is carefully destemmed, and no operation is mechanized to preserve the purity of the product. The distillates produced undergo no filtration, with the "heads" and "tails" of distillation carefully discarded to keep only the heart of the run, guaranteeing exceptional finesse and purity despite reduced yields.
The Bigarades Gin Collection is made from a meticulous selection of three rare varieties of Bigarades, also called bitter oranges. This artisanal gin, revealed by the producers' talent, offers a unique aromatic explosion that delights lovers of fine and natural spirits.
