The Alambic Gallery / The Distilled Art

Discover Charente Maritime

English
- The Alambic Gallery, what a pretty name!
  Is this an art gallery? Yes, "Vine Art." Where secrets and traditions mingle. Where, for a moment, we let ourselves be tamed, intoxicated by "the Angels' Share."
  Distilled Art
  Philippe Godard and his team welcome you in an atypical setting, surrounded by presses, magic cauldrons and Collector's Stills (1850).
  
  During a documented visit we will explain to you:
  - The different stages of distillation.
  - The secrets of blending prestigious Cognac.
  - The Work of Time and its aging cellar.
  - The Tales and Legends of Pineau des Charentes.
  - The manufacturing and bottling workshop.
  Accompanied by a GOURMET Tasting.
  
  Philippe Godard Cognacs, all Premier Cru de Grande Champagne. Cognac Apéritif, VSOP, Napoléon, XO, EXTRA, aged from 4 to 40 years in oak barrels... They know how to make you wait, and that's a good thing!!!
  
  Whether they're called Pineau des Charentes, Salted Caramel Flower, Pear with Cognac, Orange or Almond with Cognac, Cherry Red, Quince Sap, Walnut Secret, or 20 other unusual cocktails, they know how to cheer us up before or after a meal, and they're best enjoyed wisely.

We've barely left the shop, and I'm still smiling. First, we were treated to captivating explanations about the distillery process used to produce cognac and pineau. Then we were able to taste the different beverages, with once again very detailed and helpful explanations for making our final choice. We left with some excellent products and a lasting memory of the region. Thank you so much for this experience. The people of Réunion 😉
