Brana - Eau de Vie - Organic Clementine from Corsica - 44%
The Domaine Brana is nestled in Ossès, in the heart of the Basque Country, a region rich in artisanal traditions. Since 1974, Étienne Brana and his wife Adrienne have founded this emblematic distillery, accompanied by the planting of William pear orchards, a symbol of their attachment to the terroir. A self-taught enthusiast, Étienne developed his expertise in distillation, building a traditional distillery. Today, Martine, their daughter and experienced distiller, has taken up the torch with Jean and continues this unique know-how while innovating with carefully selected fruits, spices, and plants. The fruit eaux-de-vie and artisan liqueurs are crafted through meticulous maceration or distillation processes in traditional copper pot stills, ensuring exceptional quality and authentic aromas.
This rare and precious eau-de-vie is made from organic clementines carefully harvested from small family farms in Corsica. The fruits, picked directly at maturity from the tree, are quickly transported in refrigerated trucks to the distillery to preserve all their freshness and delicate aromas. Each clementine is then rigorously hand-peeled before being macerated. This crucial step is regularly monitored and homogenized to ensure optimal extraction of natural flavors. The distillation is then carried out in traditional red copper stills, synonymous with excellence. The resulting eau-de-vie is stored in stainless steel tanks, where the evolution of esters is meticulously monitored, guaranteeing perfect maturation before bottling. This artisanal process gives this eau-de-vie an intense aromatic profile and superior quality, ideal for lovers of authentic and organic eaux-de-vie.
