Collection: Soliny

The Soligny Distillery was founded in 2020 by Véronique and Vincent Godier, whose family has been involved in cereal farming for several generations. Trained agronomist engineers and winemakers in Burgundy, the couple turned to distillation in Champagne.

Barley is carefully selected to ensure the grains are of the highest possible quality and all calibrated to the same size. The distillery is equipped with a 2000-liter iStill still. Brewing, fermentation, and distillation are carried out continuously in the same production tool.

The first drops of distillate flowed in September 2020. Soligny Distillery uses only new French oak barrels or barrels from white and red Burgundy.

Vincent's years of experience in winemaking have allowed him to learn about woodwork to know how to express his needs to the cooper and thus make him understand his desires. Véronique and Vincent were not looking for the fatness of tannin coming from wood. That's when they met Gérome Foillet, a small manufacturer near Nuit Saint Georges. The estate uses 70% new barrels and 30% barrels aged between 3 and 5 years (which allow better aeration).

The idea is to produce a terroir eau-de-vie, inspired by the diversity and precision of each plot, in the image of the greatest wines of Burgundy and Champagne. This idea is enriched by the spirit of the company: close to people, close to nature. Every agronomic, technical, or strategic choice is made to respect the production of their spirits.
