Distillerie Chromatique is the spirits project of Sophie and Gautier Guillemot, launched in 2023 alongside Domaine Guillemot-Michel in Quintaine, Viré-Clessé. Drawing on the family domaine's reputation in the Mâconnais and Sophie's experience at Hennessy, the distillery combines traditional Burgundian distilling with a more experimental approach.

Using two historic wood-fired stills dating from 1932 and 1952, they craft a range of small-batch spirits from grape marc, grains, fruit and aromatic plants. Each release reflects their curiosity and creativity, bringing together local ingredients, traditional techniques and new inspirations.
