The Fox Distillery - Lune Rousse - Wine-based Gin-style Eau-de-vie Organic - 42%
Discover the Fox Distillery, located in Gignac in the heart of the prestigious Terrasses du Larzac vineyard in the Languedoc. Founded in 2021 by Simon Tardieu, this artisanal distillery is committed to producing authentic and natural spirits in perfect harmony with the Manifesto of Natural Gnôles. This movement ensures the production of exceptional eaux-de-vie, environmentally respectful and of high quality, unlike some artisanal distilleries that use inputs allowed by now overly permissive European regulations.
The Fox Distillery uses for its creations a traditional 350-liter copper still heated by wood fire. All ingredients are rigorously selected and come from the local terroir, cultivated in organic farming. No additives are added: no sugar, no sweetener, no additive. Simon Tardieu categorically refuses the use of industrial neutral alcohol at 96%, imposed by certain European specifications. Here, the base alcohol comes from a first distillation of wine or beer, reaching a concentration of about 30%, called “brouillis.” This brouillis is then redistilled to eliminate bad alcohols and keep only the heart of the distillation, obtaining a pure alcohol at about 70%. Finally, a third distillation with carefully selected botanicals allows the creation of each unique recipe. This artisanal choice deliberately excludes the use of industrial alcohol, which removes eligibility for the legal denominations “Gin” or “Pastis.”
Lune Rousse is an original creation of the Fox Distillery, made from a wine eau-de-vie from the Languedoc region. The botanicals used in its composition – juniper berries, pepper, and rooibos – give this organic gin-style eau-de-vie a unique, aromatic, and elegant personality.
