1. A filler device for filling a bottle with liquid, the device comprising a support member for supporting the bottle and a filler spout arranged above the support member so that at least one of the support member and the filler spout is movable between a start-of-filling position and an end-of-filling position, the filler spout comprising a tubular body having an upper portion connected to a liquid distribution circuit and having a lower portion shaped as a cannula, a valve being mounted inside the tubular body to be movable between an open position and a closed position, the filler device being characterized in that it includes a first electromechanical actuator connected to the valve to move it between its two positions, a second electromechanical actuator connected to at least one of the support member and the filler spout to move it between its two positions throughout the time the bottle is being filled, and electronic means for controlling and synchronizing the two actuators relative to each other.
