Distillerie Massenez – Mirabelle

The Yellow Plum Eau-de-Vie from the Massenez distillery stands out due to its unique character, concentration and balance.

The appearance is clear and colorless, sometimes with yellowish-green hues due to its aging, with a brilliance that is characteristic of Fruit Eaux-de-Vie. A supple and fluid eau-de-vie.

The nose is direct with a distinct fragrance of yellow plum, with no discordant notes. Sweet, fruity notes add a certain suppleness to the typical nature of this spirit. There are also almond notes found within it, typical of stone fruit.
A very fruity, lingering flavor that makes it truly tempting to taste.

In terms of flavors, a gradation that is traditional among fruit eaux-de-vie, split into 3 main organoleptic notes of very subtle floral notes of white flowers, very sweet, fruity notes, with an initial perception of fresh fruit which is overlapped by the taste of ripe fruit and a lightly spiced finish that balances out the sweetness of this Eau-de-Vie.

Brand

Distillerie Massenez

Founded in 1864, in Fougerolles, Franche-Comté, the Grandes Distilleries Peureux are chaired by Bernard Baud and are famous throughout the world thanks to the « Griottines » (cherries macerated in eau-de-vie or kirsch), true emblem of the family business. In 2010, The Grands Distilleries Peureux join forces with the Massenez Distillery’s expertise. The latter was born in 1870 in Val de Villé, Alsace. At that time, the founder Jean-Baptiste Massenez worked as a traditional distiller and then unknowingly opened a royal road to his descendants who inherited his expertise : his son Eugène Massenez became a master distiller recognized in the professionempreint, then in the 80s, Manou Massenez will give it a feminine imprint. In 2020, Les Grandes Distilleries Peureux and the Massenez Distillery celebrate together the 150th anniversary of this family adventure.
