The Saint Loup Distillery Nestled in the small village of Mesnil-Saint-Loup, in the heart of the Aube department, the Saint Loup artisanal distillery embodies the very essence of spirits craftsmanship on a human scale. Not far from the historic city of Troyes, this distillery invites you to venture into the flavors of the Aube region. The Saint Loup distillery is the fruit of the dream of two passionate friends, Grégory and Étienne, who wanted to create a place where tradition and innovation meet to offer exceptional spirits, imbued with the soul of their terroir. The name of the Saint Loup distillery is no coincidence. The wolf is deeply rooted in the history of the village of Mesnil Saint Loup and embodies the very spirit of the distillery. A symbol of both strength and mystery, this wolf is both holy and mischievous, perfectly reflecting the distillery's approach: respecting tradition while adding a touch of mischief and innovation to their creations. At the Saint Loup distillery, the team uses a traditional copper pot still, an iconic tool of artisanal distillation. This type of still, also known as a pot still, is renowned for its ability to extract the most subtle aromas from raw materials. The process allows for multi-pass distillation, promoting purity and a unique aromatic complexity in their spirits. The artisanal approach doesn't stop at distillation. Every step of production is carried out manually, from bottling to labeling. The human dimension of the Saint Loup distillery is a major asset. With only two distilleries, this allows for a personalized approach and careful attention to every detail of the production process. This human dimension fosters a close relationship with their customers and allows them to share with them the passion that drives their work. By operating on a small scale, they can maintain rigorous control and a commitment to quality at every stage, from ingredient selection to bottling. Every drop distilled at Saint Loup is the culmination of their hard work, passion, and commitment to artisanal excellence. The distillery notably offers a Saint Loup London Dry GIN and regularly organizes guided tours to showcase their fascinating world, where tradition and modernity meet to create exceptional spirits.
