Excellia Blanco

Excellia Blanco is the fruit of Mexican authenticity and French savoir-faire at Maison Villevert, perfectly illustrating the “Grand Cru” singularity of this tasting tequila.

Excellia Tequila Grand Cru boldly sublimates the world of tequila through an extraordinary taste experience and a human story told by two passionate men: Doña Leticia Hermosillo Ravelero and Jean-Sébastien Robicquet. Doña Leticia Hermosillo Ravelero, a pioneer in the tequila industry, is one of the few women to head a 400-hectare agave estate and distillery run by her son, Maestro Tequilero Don Alberto Partida. Deeply attached to their terroirs, they share common values: respect for heritage, ancestral know-how and their cultures.

DEVELOPMENT

Handcrafted in a single distillery, “Cava de Oro”, Excellia Tequila Grand Cru is an additive-free tequila, 100% agave from the Blue Weber variety, grown to maturity, around 8 years old.

PRODUCTION

Special attention is paid to each stage of production: the agaves are harvested by hand, traditionally cooked in brick wood-fired ovens, then ground in a wheel mill to gently extract the agave juice. The juice and bagasse then undergo natural fermentation.

Then comes double distillation, carried out according to the rules of the Cognac art. Then comes the magic of ageing in casks that have matured Sauternes grands crus and cognac over 20 years old.

NOSE Powerful, lively and complex

Authentic on the palate, in perfect harmony with the nose. With spicy notes dominated by peppers.

Persistent mid-palate finish, slightly marked by woody notes
