THE distillerie de la Seine

“Bouilleurs de Cru” From Father to Son.

The Distillerie de la Seine was born here, in Damrémont, in Haute-Marne. More precisely in this cabin at the heart of the village, which houses the communal still. Since the 1900s, this still has been used by the “bouilleurs de cru” for distilling eaux-de-vie.

It is around this still that Serge Bouvier, the third generation of Bouvier distillers, passed on the passion to his son Manuel. Together, they distill fruits from the family orchards: plums, mirabelles, pears, grape pomace, and recently, quince.

As Manuel grew up, he dedicated himself to other studies and professional projects that led him to the other end of the Seine. The river has its source in the heart of the Langres Plateau and flows into the English Channel at Le Havre. It is here that Manuel settled and decided to share his family heritage by creating the Distillerie de la Seine.

Convinced of the importance of sharing a terroir through artisanal and original spirits, Anthony Claes joined the Distillerie de la Seine project.
Alongside Manuel, he works to share the distillery’s creations with as many people as possible.

This former head waiter, passionate about gastronomy, honed his skills with renowned caterers and at the heart of major events.
He now returns to his native Normandy to join the ranks.
