Château-monastère de la Corroirie spirits distillery

Nestled in the heart of the Château-Monastère de la Corroirie, our distillery is a place where tradition and innovation meet. We create Elixir4♥ vodka using ingredients carefully harvested from the grounds. Every stage of the process, from harvesting to distillation, takes place on site, guaranteeing incomparable quality and authenticity. The distillery embodies our commitment to the art of distillation and the excellence of local products.

A Historic and Innovative Heritage

The Château-Monastère de la Corroirie, formerly occupied by Carthusian monks, is a preserved site that bears witness to the region’s rich history. The monks already grew medicinal and aromatic plants here, a tradition that we continue today in the creation of our Elixir4♥ vodka.

Plant alchemy at the heart of our process

Each bottle of Elixir4♥ is the fruit of a unique process inspired by plant alchemy. Plants are carefully selected and harvested for their specific properties: roots for WATER, leaves for EARTH, flowers for AIR, and seeds for FIRE. They are then macerated in French wheat alcohol before being distilled at very lowtemperature, under stratospheric pressure, to preserve the plant essence of their fragrance.

The unique ingredients of Elixir4♥ Vodka

Elixir4♥ Vodka is subtly distilled with carefully selected local ingredients . Our collections include:

• Elixir4 Vodka with Angelica
• Elixir4 Vodka with Roses

Angelica adds a subtle herbal touch, while Roses offer floral sweetness.

The rose petals come from an old variety that Jeff cut from the Corroirie church rose.

These ingredients ensure that the vodka Elixir4♥ produced is of the highest quality.

Manufacturing process

The ingredients are harvested directly from the grounds of the castle-monastery de la Corroirie. Elixir4♥ vodka is distilled on site using our freshly picked plants, guaranteeing authentic aromas and flavours.

Elixir4♥ vodka is distilled from French whole wheat, guaranteeing a high-quality base for our product. This wheat, grown in French territories, is carefully selected for its purity and taste. During distillation, we use pressure to extract the best aromas and create a naturally flavoured vodka with a rich taste.

This attention to detail makes Elixir4♥ a premium and truly distinctive vodka.

Cannabis Sativa L. and honey in Elixir4♥

The Cannabis Sativa L. used in our Elixir4♥ vodka has a rich history at the château-monastery. This cannabis is grown in accordance with the centuries-old traditions of the Carthusian monks of Touraine. Unlike psychotropic varieties, this hemp is legal and contains no psychotropic effects. It is selected for its unique properties, which enrich the aromatic profile of the vodka.

The honey is fermented to develop its natural flavours while eliminating residual sugar. It is then carefully distilled to concentrate its flavours while preserving its purity. This process ensures that the honey adds a subtle sweetness to the vodka with no residual sugar in the final product. This artisanal approach ensures Elixir4♥ premium vodka is smooth and refined and true to the essence of our distillery.

The quest for excellence

Our approach is based on a constant search for excellence. We are constantly exploring new techniques and plant combinations to refine our distillation process. This quest for perfection enables us to create a unique spirit, where each sip tells a story of botany, terroir and expertise.

The magic of Touraine

Touraine, often referred to as the ‘garden of France‘, is renowned for its verdant landscapes and majestic châteaux. It’s in this enchanting setting that we draw our inspiration and ingredients. The richness of this terroir is reflected in every drop of our vodka, offering an unrivalled flavour.
