The creation of a myth
Ventealapropriete is privileged to witness the inexorable rise of the Bellevoye brand. We tasted and selected Bellevoye products right at their inception. We knew the small team that started it all. Since then, we have witnessed the huge milestones it has achieved... Countless hours of work by a strong team, united around two figures, Alexandre Sirech and Jean Moueix, and one conviction: to make exceptional French whiskies! France has been distilling excellence for centuries and a new era is coming, that of French whiskies. Bellevoye is the detonator and by far its main ambassador!
Bellevoye : a French style
Whisky is at the crossroads of France's expertise as the leading producer of malted barley and the leading producer of yeast, two fundamental ingredients for the production of great whiskies. France is also the world reference for both still making and barrel making. Our art of distillation has also been recognized for centuries. This is reflected in our exceptional spirits: Cognac, Armagnac, Chartreuse, Calvados... Writings found at the Court of Stanislas even show that whisky was produced in France before our English speaking friends! Well aware of all these assets, Jean Moueix and Alexandre Sirech have created Bellevoye: the first French whisky, a high-end synthesis of all these skills.
The art of blending
The purpose of blending is to obtain a result greater than the sum of its parts. A single malt is a malted barley whisky from a single distillery. Bellevoye is a triple malt. That is to say that it adds to its own production from Charente two other single malt selected blindly among the sixty regional whiskies of France. And this list is never set in stone: the two invited distilleries are put in competition every two years during a blind tasting of the entire national production. Bellevoye is therefore a reflection of the best of the young and booming French whisky industry.
The precision of a goldsmith
At Bellevoye, nothing is left to chance. From one end of the value chain to the other, everything is done to perfection. From the choice of cereals to the white-glove bottling, each reference passes under the watchful eye of a team of enthusiasts.
The heating method
Once cut and assembled, Bellevoye barrels undergo a long and gentle toasting process, which is rare in spirits. The uniqueness of Bellevoye also comes from this final maturation. The result is an aromatic, velvety and smooth whisky, without any harshness
The black glass
Each Bellevoye is created to target a specific segment of the whisky market. A small team of enthusiasts begins by tasting all the brands in the category. The best two are selected and analyzed in depth. After several years of work, the first Bellevoye prototype is ready to face the two world champions in a blind tasting, in black glasses. As long as it does not beat them unanimously by the dedicated committee of experts, it is not released.
Every detail counts
Years of hard work and rigor will not be ruined by an ugly fingerprint. At Bellevoye, the bottles, like gemstones, are handled only with white gloves.
