A distillery that puts the highest quality first in its work as a producer and distiller in La Tieule.
The Essenciagua company is developing a 100% organic and eco-responsible project in La Tieule based on essential oils. The company, created in 2005, obtains its supplies of fresh plants within a 150-kilometer radius of the distillery from certified organic farmers or pickers. This raw material is then refined with Lozère spring water in stainless steel stills. A practice that is still strongly imbued with the artisanal gesture and all the patience associated with it. It is indeed only after a slow and complete distillation that Essenciagua captures the richness and complexity of these plants: yarrow, dill, basil, bergamot, cistus, lemon balm, mint, ravintsara, Damascus rose, ylang ylang? Thus transformed into essential oils or hydrolats, they then deliver the extent of their benefits. These "grands crus" include dozens of fragrances, to relieve physical pain (migraine, aphta, arthrosis...) as well as bruises to the soul (stage fright, anxiety, intellectual fatigue...). The company, which favours very high quality in its work as a producer and distiller, also recommends an enlightened use of its medicinal or cosmetic "treasures", according to the principle "one person, one moment, one plant". Do not hesitate to push the doors of this honourable house; you can indeed visit the distillery and its production area, equipped with two stills.

J’ai pu assister à la distillation de l’huile essentielle de LAVANDIN faite par Laurent Gautun d’Essenciagua au salon du Made in France qui se déroule encore à Porte de Versailles et j’ai adoré voir le processus…
Étant praticienne en aromathérapie, phytoénergétique et olfactothérapie, il est capital pour moi d’utiliser des huiles essentielles d’une très haute qualité et je recommande les hydrolats et huiles essentielles fabriqués par sa distillerie sans hésiter ❤️
J'ai eu la chance d'aller acheter des huiles en magasin mais aussi sur place, ils ne poussent pas à la consommation et m'ont même converti aux hydrolats qui sont pourtant moins cher.
Ils travaillent dans le respect des cycles des plantes, avec des agriculteurs locaux quand possible.
