Univers de Maxime Chapoutier Wines

This family domaine is cultivated using biodynamic practices in which plants play a central role.

Sothis gin is distilled from grapes and plants grown near the vineyards. In their wild state they offer us a better understanding of the soils. When used in vine treatments they help to nourish plant life and support plant growth. I have selected a few of these plants in order to offer a new perspective of our terroirs, the story of a gin originating from the Tain l’Hermitage vineyards and their floral heritage. I have been honing this recipe for many months under the watchful eye of Sothis, the star and also the ancient Goddess who teaches us that cultivating the land is a means of moving closer to the stars.
