Its production, the fruit of Mexican authenticity and the French savoir-faire of Maison Villevert, perfectly illustrates the "Grand Cru" uniqueness of this tasting tequila. Excellia Tequila Grand Cru sublimates the world of tequila with boldness through an extraordinary taste experience and a human story driven by passionate people : Doña Leticia Hermosillo Ravelero and Jean-Sébastien Robicquet. Doña Leticia Hermosillo Ravelero, a pioneer in the tequila industry, is one of the few women at the head of a 400-hectare agave Estate and a distillery managed by her son, Maestro Tequilero Don Alberto Partida. Very attached to their terroirs, they share common values : respect for their heritage, ancestral know-how and their cultures.
