Cazottes: Gaillac, Occitania

An iconic distillery in the heart of Occitania

The story of Cazottes begins in the rolling hills of Gaillac, Occitania, where centuries-old farming traditions blend with meticulous craftsmanship. Originally established as a distillery, Cazottes is now world-famous for the crystalline purity of its artisanal spirits. Only pears, plums, and cherries from organic or biodynamic orchards are used, along with rare native grape varieties like Mauzac Rosé, a true gem of Gascony’s hidden viticultural heritage.

An obsession with detail and purity

What sets Cazottes apart is its almost obsessive dedication to every tiny detail: stems are removed by hand, seeds meticulously extracted to preserve clean flavors, and elderflower petals are individually picked. This patient craftsmanship has earned Cazottes a place on the wine and spirits lists of France and England’s most acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants. These spirits are more than a product – they are liquid tales of a terroir told with precision and respect.

A natural approach to winemaking

The same unwavering commitment to purity defines their winemaking too. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically with utmost care for biodiversity, only fully ripe, healthy grapes are harvested by hand, and in the cellar, only native yeasts and spontaneous fermentations are used. Sulfite levels are kept to an absolute minimum. The result is vibrant, living wines that express the floral freshness of the orchard and the stony minerality of the clay-limestone-schist soils. Each bottle is a testament to Laurent Cazottes’ vision: nature first, no shortcuts.
