Distillerie du Petit Grain Cerises 35 cl | Languedoc

Eau de vie de Cerises de la Distillerie du Petit Grain is an organic , artisanal distillate made from a blend of wild cherries of the Guignes and Calprus varieties, picked around Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, in the Hérault region. The limestone terroir of the Haut Languedoc, subject to Mediterranean influences, gives the fruit remarkable freshness and aromatic ripeness. The cherries are carefully sorted, destemmed and naturally fermented. Distillation takes place in an open-fire copper alembic designed by Jean-Louis Stupfler, and only the toasting cores are kept to guarantee exceptional purity.

On the nose, we are immediately seduced by a bouquet reminiscent of cherry clafoutis, with gourmet touches of almond, Tonka nut and violet.

The palate combines roundness with a lively feel, where the juicy, tart flesh of the cherry reveals itself with precision, accentuated by an invigorating freshness. The finish stretches out with aromas of pits, underlined by a silky texture.
