La Distillerie Bel Air
La Distillerie Bel Air – Artisanal Excellence in Every Drop
For over 32 years, Distillerie Bel Air has been rooted in the heart of the Gard, at the foot of the picturesque Cévennes mountains, a region celebrated for its rich biodiversity and natural beauty. Specializing in the cultivation of lavender and rosemary, this iconic distillery draws from the authentic terroir of the Cévennes to produce essential oils of exceptional quality.
A Legacy of Tradition and Innovation
La Distillerie Bel Air preserves the artisanal know-how of traditional harvesting methods while embracing modern advancements. Using a vintage mower-binder to gently pre-wilt plants before distillation, and operating large-capacity stills, they have perfected the art of essential oil extraction. Every drop carries the essence of ancestral practices, merged with a commitment to sustainable craftsmanship.
In 2018, biochemists Pierre Boccon-Gibod and Hannibal André brought new life to the Distillery, blending modern techniques with timeless traditions. Their vision emphasizes ecological and sustainable practices, adapting to global challenges like climate change while continuing to uphold the purity and authenticity of their essential oils.
Global Partnerships and Ecological Responsibility
La Distillerie Bel Air’s reach extends beyond France through partnerships with growers worldwide. These collaborations honor local ecosystems and ensure that each essential oil captures the essence of its unique terroir. By diversifying their offerings, the Distillery meets the global demand for premium, ethically produced essential oils.
