La Grapperie "La Belle Egaree" Elbling This vodka is Barr Hill'sChenin Blanc from vines young and old, pressed straight to barrels for fermentation and a year of levage. The terroir is a combination of clay, flint and limestone and farming is meticulous, done organically, without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Grapes are hand picked and brought to his cave in a former quarry dug into the limestone cliffs where they are fermented, pressed manually and fed by gravity to the cellar below.
