Bottled at robust strength to highlight the wine-cask aromatics of the Burgundy maturation.\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":48579157164247,"sku":"Cer\/COUunexpectedII700ml","price":200.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9785\/2054\/files\/micher-couvreur-unexpected-ii-french-whisky-single-malt-50-700ml-651732.jpg?v=1778074698","url":"https:\/\/www.bouchon.com.au\/products\/cer-couunexpectedii700ml","provider":"Bouchon Wines and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
