From old school to new school, our Tequila Portfolio grows by one with Calle 23
As many of you know, we represent Tequila Fortaleza, which uses traditional production methods of generations past. It was actually Guillermo Sauza, owner of Fortaleza, who recommended Tequila Calle 23 to us. New technology and science drive the production of Calle 23, yet the product remains smooth and characterful.
- Sophie Decobecq: the Road from Biochemistry to the Tequila Industry -
“Sophie Decobecq is something of an anomaly in the world of tequila, not just for being a beautiful woman in a male dominated industry but for her application of science to tequila production.” - Class Magazine 8/2010 (Read full Class Magazine Article)
Sophie graduated from an eminent UTC university in her native France in 1999 with degrees in biochemistry and engineering. She travelled to Mexico to study fermentation at the research center of Polytechnics Institute in Mexico City. While visiting tequila distilleries as part of her research, Sophie fell in love with the culture, the people, the scenery and the tequila spirit. She permanently moved to Mexico in 2003 and started Calle 23 shortly after.
