G.E. Massenez Eaux-de-Vie
History

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 brandies and liqueurs. It is in fact this dedication to the "distillerie artisanale" which led Eugène Massenez to develop a formula for raspberry eau-de-vie and making it commercially available to an appreciative public worldwide. The distillation method is still a closely-guarded family secret.

Tradition

Born in a family of distillers from father to son, G.E. Massenez with his exceptionnal 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 (France).

The distillation of high quality eaux de vie is not consistent with industrialization and G.E. Massenez has, therfore, chosen to retain traditional methods to combine them with the requirements of a modern production. Only the best fruits are selected and stored in large fermentation vats prior to distillation according to the rules of the art.

Following a careful and patient maturation over several years, the bottling is carried out on an automatic bottling line.

Quanity

Uncompromissing on quality, G.E. Massenez is today universally acclaimed for his eaux de vie (fruit brandies) such as wild Rasperry and Williams Pear as well as his crèmes liqueurs : Peach, Blackcurrant etc...G.E. Massenez has won many awards at international exhibitions, including the world oscar for quality in 1980.

Pleasure

The eaux de vie of G.E. Massenez are to be found in some of the world's leading restaurants, in specialists stores as well as being served on various airlines. Today, G.E. Massenez finest eaux de vie are enjoyed by connoisseurs throughout the world : over 70 % of the production is exported.

Just enjoy the feeling of tasting G.E. Massenez eaux de vie and you will understand the magic of it : the best fruits turned into a rare eau de vie according to ancestral methods and careful ageing. A symbol of the art of living à la française, they combine quality and originality for your greater pleasure.
