 With its chimney giving it the look of a steamboat, we see it from afar. And the fragrances which escape from it don't pass by unnoticed. Thyme, rosemary and especially lavender: the Bleu Provence distillery transforms the plant, with the help of steam, into essential oil.
Philippe Soguel, distiller by trade and 'chef' of scents by passion, works at the stoves, with three vats of more than 2,000 litres. Provençal herbs cultivated mainly in the valleys of Mévouillon and Poët in Percip and on the Ferrassières plateau. A great olfactory bouquet to discover during a visit to the distillery, which will also be an occasion for diving into the techniques of distillation, the botany, the history and the economy of lavender. To be followed, if you want to bring a little bit of provençal Drôme with you, with a little hop next door to the boutique managed by Christine Soguel.
