As early as 1913, Eugène Massenez wanted to be an avant-garde by distilling wild raspberries for the first time... This spirit became a phenomenal success thanks in particular to the loyalty of the Queen of Sweden who fell in love with this raspberry when she came to Alsace. In the 1950s, the Massenez Distillery experienced a real boom by being present in the most famous restaurant in France: BBocuse, Verger, Troisgros, etc., and a few others such as La Tour d'Argent, Maxime's, Lenotre, etc. Finally after the 1960s, Gabriel Massenez decided as a precursor to export. Lastly, when he dealt with the Asian market, he successfully bet on the raspberry brandy (the fruit was unknown by its population) and the famous pear prisoner. The Maison Massenez, which is now associated with Grandes Distilleries Peureux, continues an avant-garde lineage and advocates, through Miss Massenez, a brand new consumption of brandies, creams and liquors: the cocktails! It forms part of the French lifestyle! Refined, chic, elegant... The digestive does not have an exclusively masculine image now, follow Miss Massenez and travel with her through her favourite cocktails... This prestigious distillery offers guided tours for groups as from 10 people but only on prior reservation. End the visit with a free tasting at Miss Massenez port.
