A nuanced expression for the connoisseur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichel Couvreur was a Belgian-born wine merchant and whisky pioneer who established his maturation cellars in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Burgundy, in the 1970s. The Couvreur house operates a singular concept: selecting new-make Scottish malt spirit, shipping it to Burgundy, and maturing it in an extraordinary range of French wine casks — Oloroso sherry, Rivesaltes, ex-Burgundy, vin jaune — held in the constant-temperature chalk caves of the Burgundy property. After Michel's death in 2013, his protégé Jean-Arnaud Frantzen continues the programme. Couvreur's philosophy: \"90% of the quality of a whisky comes from the barrel, and only 10% from the distillation process.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michel Couvreur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280581263675,"sku":"Cer\/COUalbaCHAPII500ml","price":559.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/9370\/9115\/files\/michel-couvreur-whisky-alba-chapter-2-4565-500ml-793588.jpg?v=1779596954","url":"https:\/\/caravanwinesandspirits.com.au\/products\/cer-coualbachapii500ml","provider":"Caravan Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
