在法國西部、靠近大西洋的旺代省(Vendée),有一個安靜而充滿生命力的小鎮——Les Achards。就在這裡,兩位童年好友 Benjamin Cousseau 與 Quentin Bricard 一起實現了他們長年對植物、風味與蒸餾藝術的熱情,創立了 Distillerie des Achards 阿夏爾蒸餾廠。
這不只是一間蒸餾廠,更是一段回歸土地、堅持品質與創造精神的旅程。
Benjamin 擁有世界級調酒師的背景,曾榮獲 WorldClass France 冠軍,更是可口可樂 Signature Mixers 法國區大使。他將對風味的細膩感知、對比例的敏銳掌握,帶進了每一批酒的研發。而 Quentin 則熱愛植物與永續理念,負責從原料選擇到蒸餾工序的每一個環節。他們的合作不只是技術上的互補,更是價值觀上的深度共鳴。
阿夏爾蒸餾廠與當地農民建立緊密合作,嚴選有機與可持續栽培的原料——裸麥、小麥、香草、香料與花材都在地取材,只為保留最自然純粹的風味。全系列酒款皆使用德國 Müller 製造的混合柱式蒸餾器(Mixed Column Still),並配備「香料籃」,讓植物的精華在蒸餾過程中被完整保留下來,尤其是高揮發性、精細的「前調 Top Notes」。
阿夏爾蒸餾廠選擇不過濾他們的部分烈酒,只為保留更多層次的口感與真實的植物韻味。
除了風味,阿夏爾蒸餾廠更重視永續。他們通過 CERTIPAQ BIO 有機認證,將環保作為每一道生產工序的核心。無論是能源管理、瓶裝方式、或是對原物料來源的選擇,每一個決定都體現對土地的敬重與責任。
從果香四溢的琴酒 Gin Bulkeley,到深具文化風味的 B.SAP Hibiscus,再到充滿礦物與柑橘氣息的 Lady Céleste Vodka,每一款酒都是一段旅程,是阿夏爾蒸餾廠與土地、植物、人之間深刻對話的結果。
這裡的酒,不只是工藝作品,更是情感的延伸。
Distillerie des Achards,邀您用每一口酒,感受旺代風土的純粹、創新的靈魂,與對美好生活的執著。
Nestled in the quiet yet vibrant countryside of Les Achards in the Vendée region of western France, Distillerie des Achards is more than just a distillery—it is a journey of craftsmanship, a return to the land, and a celebration of flavor and tradition.
Founded in 2020 by childhood friends Benjamin Cousseau and Quentin Bricard, the distillery is a living expression of their shared passion for plants, artisanal spirits, and sustainable values.
Benjamin, a world-class bartender and winner of WorldClass France, also served as the French ambassador for Coca-Cola’s Signature Mixers. He brings a sharp sense of balance, precision, and creativity to the art of distillation.
Quentin, with a background in botany and a strong commitment to sustainability, focuses on every detail of sourcing and production. Together, their collaboration blends technical mastery with shared values—an unwavering pursuit of authenticity and quality.
Distillerie des Achards works closely with local farmers, sourcing organic and sustainably grown ingredients—rye, wheat, herbs, spices, and florals—directly from the surrounding region. All spirits are distilled using a Müller mixed column still, equipped with a botanical basket that gently extracts essential top notes and volatile aromatics during distillation.
In some of their expressions, the spirits are left unfiltered, preserving the richness, structure, and complexity of natural ingredients. Every sip tells a story of careful extraction and unadulterated flavor.
Beyond taste, Distillerie des Achards holds sustainability at the heart of its operations. Certified organic under CERTIPAQ BIO, every step—from energy management to bottling and sourcing—is guided by environmental stewardship and a deep respect for the land.
From the citrus-laced elegance of Gin Bulkeley, to the vibrant, floral B.SAP Hibiscus, and the lively mineral notes of Lady Céleste Vodka, each spirit is a journey—an expression of the region, the plants, and the people behind the bottle.
This is not just fine spirits. This is emotion. This is identity.
Distillerie des Achards invites you to experience Vendée through each sip—its purity, its spirit of innovation, and its uncompromising devotion to quality and life’s finer moments.
