MASSENEZ STORY

Founded in 1870 in Alsace, Distillerie G.E. Massenez remains today one of the last family-owned firms dedicated to the production of traditional, top-quality eaux-de-vie (fruit brandies) and liquors. It is in fact this dedication to the ‘‘distillerie artisanale’’ which led Eugène Massenez to develop a formula for raspberry eau-de-vie and make it com- mercially available to an appreciate public worldwide. The distillation method is still a closely guarded family secret.

Born in a family of distillers from father to son, G.E. Massenez with his exceptional savoir-faire continues with success the traditional art of distilling eaux de vie (fruit brandies) which is still particularly alive in the Villé region on Alsace in France.

The distillation of high quality eaux-de-vie is not consistent with industrialization; thus Massenez has chosen to retain traditional methods. Only the best fruits are selected and stored in large fermentation vats prior to distillation. Following a careful and patient maturation over several years, the bottling is carried out.

Uncompromising on quality, Massenez is today universally acclaimed for eaux-de-vie, such as wild Raspberry and Williams Pear, as well as for creams and liquors : Peach, Blackcurrant, etc. Massenez has won many awards at international exhibitions, including the world oscar for quality in 1980. These wonderful products are sold through the world, as 70% of the production is exported. CREAMS G.E Massenez has developed high quality creams, concentrating fruits, sugar and eau-de-vie. Their rich aroma makes them very versatile and they can be enjoyed neat, over ice, in cocktails or poured on ice creams, pastries, etc. All are ideally suited to prepare the traditional French apéritif ‘‘Kir’’ with white wine or champagne.

EAUX-DE-VIE Fruit is the single raw material of French eaux-de-vie and its selection determines quality. The aroma, flavour and delicacy of great eaux-de-vie depend heavily on the fruit and the distiller’s know-how is of utmost importance at this stage in order to select the best fruit. Fruit with stones or pips are placed in tanks for fermentation while berries must macerate in alcohol.

PRISONER PEAR Icon of the MASSENEZ Brand, ‘‘Prisoner Pear’’ captivates with its olfactory and gustative qualities and the pear-shaped bottle with a whole pear inside. The bottle is simply attached to the pear tree in flower…so the fruit develops inside the bottle. When it ripens, the fruit and the bottle are carefully detached. MASSENEZ CREAMS
