Alliance of tradition and modernity, we have a single production site since 1884

Craftsmanship and the art of extracting aromas. In each of our liqueurs, we aim to bring out the rich aromas of fruit and plants.

Maceration :
Each fruit and plant has its own optimum maceration time, which can range from 24 hours to over 3 months.

Pressing :
Pressing optimizes the extraction of juice and color from the fruits. We press with progressive pressure levels.

Slowness, regularity and supervision are the keys to successful distillation.
We distil citrus peel (lemons, oranges), buds (blackcurrant, fir),
flowers (elder, hyssop), berries (juniper), as well as around twenty plants (verbena, genepi, lavender, etc.).
