Distillerie du Petit Grain Framboise 35 cl | Languedoc

Distillerie du Petit Grain 'sEau de Vie de Framboise delivers a strikingly pure interpretation of this distillery staple red fruit. Made from fresh, whole raspberries rigorously selected in Burgundy for their aromatic ripeness, this eau-de-vie is distilled slowly over an open fire in a traditional still, to preserve all the finesse, freshness and depth of the fruit. The work carried out on this cuvée highlights the distillery's expertise: mastery of the fruit at its peak drinking, with no added aromas or sugar, and a distillation process that seeks less to impress than to reveal, with precision, the natural intensity of the raspberry.

The first impression is striking: a crystal-clear nose of rare intensity, revealing straightforwardly the juicy flesh of fresh raspberries, combined with floral nuances reminiscent of wild rose and violet. Subtle hints of bramble and white truffle add complexity without ever masking the frankness of the fruit.

On the palate, there's a remarkable balance between precision, greed and energy. The attack is silky, the raspberry explodes, vibrant and pulpy. The mid-palate offers a caressing texture and astonishing fruity persistence, which continues on lightly spicy, tangy notes.
