Domaine Clos Saint-Joseph

Charles-Guillaume Simon, in the heart of the Burgundy wine region, brings high fashion distillation back to life. Le Clos Saint Joseph offers exceptional products made from very high-quality raw materials and a German copper still that delivers precise and pure distillation. The production is on a human scale, with no additives, to ensure a very high quality. Charles-Guillaume, at the helm of this family adventure, first lived a life as a financier in the wine world before branching out on his own to build this distillery in Murisalt. Pragmatic and meticulous, he trained with the best distillers in Cognac or Grasse, earning the prestigious title of master distiller. His German still, magnificent in its historical copper, is a model of precision. You have to see Charles-Guillaume on site adjusting the temperatures, judging the different cuts to keep only the best part of the distillation (the heart), then patiently aging the pomace and other residues in noble containers (Sauternes casks, cognac casks...) for a minimum of 5 years. The liqueurs are the result of macerating very high-quality fruits (meticulously sorted by the Guillaume family) carefully in neutral alcohol, before being distilled to extract aromas of rare purity!
