The culmination of 20 years’ work, Rozelieures’ parcel whiskies are the result of mastery of every stage of production on the estate.
This expertise, particularly in malting, enables the Lorraine distillery to ensure total traceability of its whiskies from the earth to the glass. To date, the Rozelieures distillery is one of the first in the world to offer single estate whiskies.
A LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTION OF 18 PARCEL WHISKIES, DIVIDED INTO 4 TERROIR FAMILIES
Each year, the distillery will bottle 2 to 3 parcel whiskies.
Within 7 years, all 18 parcels of the estate will be part of the collection, divided into 4 main terroirs: clay-limestone, silty, volcanic and clay.
The first 2 whiskies in the collection are unpeated. Maturation will enable the characteristics of each soil type to be highlighted.
The great aromatic differences between these first 2 parcels are a perfect demonstration of the impact of terroir, including in spirits.
SILT TERROIR: CLOS DES CHAMPS PLOT
These soils produce delicate, floral whiskies. Maturation in ex-cognac and bourbon casks ensures that the distillate remains true to this style.

ROZELIEURES, ONE OF THE ONLY WHISKY PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD TO CONTROL 100% OF ITS PRODUCTION
Located between Nancy and Épinal, close to the Baccarat crystal works, the Rozelieures distillery, run by the Grallet-Dupic family for 5 generations, isone of the few distilleries in the world to control the entire production process.
Grain, malting, brewing, distillation and aging are all done in-house – including energy autonomy thanks to the methanization unit – in a rare and unique model of vertical integration.
Welcome to the farm… of the 21st century! As with wine, several elements are essential to the production of a parcel whisky:
- The great diversity of Rozelieures terroirs: 4 families for 18 plots
- The key to parcel-based production: the estate malting plant
- Peating
- Distillation
- Ageing: several thousand barrels, in 90 different types of casks
- To take things a step further, the distillery uses new barrels blended from Lorraine oak, including a few dozen from the Rozelieures forests.
