Producer Distillerie Garagaï

FRANCE, AIX EN PROVENCE

The Garagaï distillery was founded in 2019 by Maixent Dubois in Puyloubier, at the foot of the fascinating and wild Sainte-Victoire mountain, just outside Aix-en-Provence, and produces non-alcoholic herbal distillates and syrups. Curious and self-taught, Maixent started to take his first steps in the world of wine before dedicating himself to the world of spirits. He wanted to bring together in the Garagaï adventure a Provençal anchorage, the work of the land and a space of expression and freedom. The aromatic plants are harvested wild in the Aix region or cultivated from spring to autumn. They are used as soon as they are harvested to guarantee their original freshness. Once transformed, the colors and perfumes are fixed by infusion (hot in water), by maceration (cold in alcohol) or by distillation with traditional stills, over an open flame and in a bain-marie. It is only at the end of the season that the assembly work allows us to determine the combinations that will reveal the paintings of the year.
