Clarisse

Clarisse is native from Charente-Maritime, Southwest France. She was raised in a family where vines and the love of good wine have always been a centrepiece. Clarisse first trained as a sommelier and then managed her own wine bar for several years in Nantes before moving back to her homeland and joining the family’s tradition of master distillers.

Clarisse’s knowledge from her sommelier and bartending past has been a source of inspiration for the creation of her first spirit. The result is a special sommelier’s vodka for bartenders and connoisseurs looking for the perfect main ingredient for their drink’s menu.

She has travelled across France to source the best wheat which is the base for her vodka.
The water, coming from the family estate, is solely used to gently bring the spirit down to the perfect bottling strength (40%).

Clarisse is driven by passion though she always seeks meaning in everything she undertakes. She has travelled across France to source the best quality wheat which is the base for her vodka.

Following 5 distillations in column stills, the 6th distillation is done in a typical Charentais copper pot still which was passed down in the family for generations. This ultimate distillation run in copper adds a touch of spice to the vodka making it both smooth and round, to be enjoyed neat or in mixed drinks.
