Description
Massenez remains today one of the last family-owned firms dedicated to the production of traditional, top-quality eaux-de-vies and crèmes. All Massenez crèmes are a triple concentration of fruit, sugar and eau-de-vie. The incomparable taste of these luscious crèmes is achieved by using only the best juice from the freshest fruit, a high dosage of sugar (400 grams per liter, as opposed to only 200 grams for liqueurs) and, most importantly, the eau-de-vie of the same fruit. It is Massenez’ consummate skill in the art of distillation which is responsible for these quintessential crèmes. Experience the romance of the Massenez triple crèmes, which are versatile specialties and can be served in a variety of ways, including: neat or over ice in a liqueur glass with white wine or champagne (kir) in many fun, creative cocktails as an ice cream and dessert topping.Color: Fairly dark, bluish color, with dark purple highlights. A pure color true to the fruit used in its making.Nose: Fresh, beautifully powerful aromatic nose.Palate: Clean attack, revealing ripe fruit, giving way to the fruit roundness. The sweetness is rapidly counterbalanced by natural fruit acidity, a balance that endows this Cream with incomparable character, caliber and flavor.
