"Vent d'Ange N°21048" is the first single cask in the "Vents d'Anges" series.
It originated from a 228L fine-grained French oak barrel from Fougerais, which was used to age Vincent Gaudry's 2019 and 2018 "Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Damodes."

The distillate "D022", distilled on the morning of March 19, 2021, was filled into the empty barrel on the afternoon of the same day.

In addition to Sorigny's characteristic fruitiness and straw-like aromas, this first single cask edition from a "fresh cask" is a spiritual exploration of wine and spirits, combining the elegance of a Nuits Premier Cru derived from Pinot Noir with the softness brought by Planet barley grown in the "Bois Dieu" plot.

Technical Data

Distillation

Our slow and precise distillation is carried out using an "Istill" distiller, which minimizes water and energy consumption.

Our unique process involves no removal of grain husks or filtration from mashing to the end of distillation. The cube-shaped stainless steel tank, equipped with powerful agitators and six heaters, allows for gentle distillation over 20 hours of heating without scorching.

The hybrid distillation column is fitted with temperature sensors and valves, producing a distillate with an alcohol content of approximately 65%. The distillate is barreled the day after distillation without any initial dilution.

Aging

Aging in wooden barrels slowly alters the components of the distillate through gentle contact with oxygen, while gradually extracting aromas from the barrel itself.

Our new barrels come from the workshop of Jérôme Faillée, a cooper who holds the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) award. He cherishes the philosophy of maximizing the use of the wood itself, rather than discarding complex wood pieces.

Burgundy wine barrels are sourced from Veronique and Vincent's vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges, or from close producers in the Côte de Nuits.

The act of selecting a single barrel is more complex than choosing a blend. At a certain point, one must compare multiple whiskies and imagine not only their current state but also how they will evolve during future aging.
