Distillerie Massenez – Quetsche

The Plum from the Massenez distillery stands out due to its particular uniqueness, powerful character and balance.

The apperance 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 Plum, with no discordant notes. This intense nose with almond notes is a highly characteristic mark of the quality of the original fruit selection and the delicacy of the distillation. A highly complex flavor where the primary flavors of fresh fruit mix with secondary and tertiary flavors from fermentation and distillation.

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.
