Distillerie Cazottes - Goutte de Reine Claude - 45%
\n
The Distillerie Cazottes is ideally located in Villeneuve-sur-Vère, in the heart of the Tarn, a region renowned for its exceptional terroir. Laurent Cazottes, heir to a traditional craft of itinerant distilling, passionately cultivates his fruits and flowers using certified organic farming, also incorporating rigorous biodynamic practices to respect and enhance the natural environment. His orchard includes about 600 Williams pear trees, 200 carefully maintained Golden Reine Claude plum trees, as well as vines planted since 2010. This fruit richness allows him to produce authentic eaux-de-vie, refined liqueurs, as well as exceptional aperitifs and wines, reflecting the excellence of the local terroir.

This rare eau-de-vie is made from Golden Reine Claude plums meticulously dried on racks, a natural process that promotes the concentration of unique aromas and depth on the palate. The fruits are rigorously sorted, hand-stemmed, and the pits delicately removed to ensure optimal quality. Fermentation then begins without any chemical additives, fully respecting artisanal methods. A slow traditional distillation gives it all its finesse and purity, followed by careful aging in demijohns to perfect its aromatic profile. Bottling is done according to demand, thus ensuring the freshness and authenticity of each bottle.
