A Jalisco blanco tequila bringing together two Mexican terroirs

Volcan de mi Tierra: a tequila born of an exceptional volcanic terroir

Volcan de mi Tierra, a Tequila from Mexico, was born in May 2017 from an alliance between LVMH (Moët Hennessy) and the Gallardo family, the brand’s current owners. Established at the foot of the Tequila volcano in the volcanic region of Jalisco, the distillery draws on an exceptional terroir shaped by an eruption 200,000 years ago, whose iron- and basalt-rich soils give blue agave distinctive aromas. Led by Julien Morel and Juan Gallardo, Volcan de mi Tierra stands out for its blending expertise, combining the finest agaves from the lowlands and highlands using blending techniques rooted in French premium-spirits know-how, thus creating tequilas of remarkable complexity.

Blanco: the art of blending

Volcán De Mi Tierra Blanco is a unique blend of the finest agaves from Jalisco’s two emblematic regions: the Valles (lowlands) and the Altos (highlands). The brand showcases the richness of each terroir by using differentiated production processes, combining traditional and modern methods. Lowland agaves are oven-cooked and wood-fermented, while highland agaves are autoclave-cooked and fermented in stainless steel. This hybrid approach creates a complex, elegant tequila, where the herbaceous, spicy character of the Valles meets the floral and fruity notes of the Altos. Blanco thus embodies Volcan de mi Tierra’s philosophy: celebrating the diversity of Mexican terroirs through exceptional blending expertise.
