Discover the Whisky La Sauzaie
Whisky La Sauzaie 700ml by Godet is a remarkable blend of tradition and innovation. Produced by the revered Maison Godet, with roots tracing back to 1588, this French single malt whisky stands as a testament to centuries of distillation expertise melded with modern-day craftsmanship. Located in the picturesque region of La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France, the Godet family, now in its fifteenth generation, continues its legacy of exceptional spirits production, extending its cognac heritage into the realm of whisky.
Unveiling Heritage and Craft
Maison Godet has long been synonymous with the pinnacle of French spirits, and its venture into whisky production is a natural progression of its storied history. The transition is seamless due to their expertise in distillation and maturation, creating an environment where French sophistication meets whisky traditions. Ever committed to sustainability and innovation, Godet prioritizes local sourcing and artisanal methods, ensuring each bottle of Whisky La Sauzaie reflects the very soul of its region.
An Emphasis on Local and Authentic Ingredients
The Whisky La Sauzaie is crafted using 100% French spring barley, malted in Charente-Maritime. This commitment to local ingredients not only supports regional agriculture but also allows the unique terroir of the region to be expressed in each drop. Water sourced locally and carefully selected yeast ensure optimal fermentation and flavor development, giving the whisky its distinct French character.
A Distillation Process Rooted in Tradition
Distilled in the traditional Charentais pot stills, the same used for producing cognac, La Sauzaie boasts a refined character marked by purity and finesse. This tried and tested method results in a spirit that is both clean and complex, each sip echoing Godet’s cognac prowess in its subtle complexities and refined tastes.
Innovative Maturation Techniques
Godet’s multi-cask maturation strategy sets La Sauzaie apart. Starting in sessile oak casks previously used for cognac, it goes through multiple finishes - from Moscatel and Port casks to American and experimental ex-tequila casks. These various finishes introduce layers of aroma and flavor, offering notes from sweet gingerbread and madeleines to smokey spices and fresh citrus. Each edition presents a unique tasting journey, with the Moscatel finish offering a sweet, vinous profile, and the peated edition showcasing a powerful, smoky character.
Tasting Notes
Whisky La Sauzaie is a visual and sensory delight. Whether it’s the pale gold of the Moscatel finish or the rich amber of the peated edition, the colors hint at the rich flavors within. The nose might pick up peaty and spicy notes or lighter, floral touches depending on the finish. On the palate, one can enjoy sweet, round notes with hints of gingerbread, smokey and spicy elements, or fresh and vibrant agave undertones from the tequila finish.
Ideal Enjoyment and Pairing
For the best tasting experience, enjoy Whisky La Sauzaie at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate its sophisticated aromas. While a dash of water might open its flavors further, ice is discouraged as it can suppress the whisky’s delicate aromas. This whisky pairs excellently as a digestif on its own, with almond-based desserts complimenting its Moscatel finish, or with light appetizers and charcuterie when served as an aperitif.
