Goutte de Reine-Claude dorée 2016, Laurent Cazottes

Cave Culinaries
Fruit, sweetness, sunshine, opulence, generosity: this eau-de-vie possesses all the characteristics of the golden greengage, a fruit that explodes in the sun and releases a smooth syrup drop by drop. The plums are raisined and freed of any pits or stems before maceration and distillation. As with the Williams pear drop, the fruit's flavor emerges with dazzling clarity. Enjoy by the glass, with friends, by the fire, or at the end of a good meal. Alcohol content: 45%.

Made from an old Gaillac black grape variety reintroduced by the Plageoles family, this eau-de-vie is aromatic, full-bodied, and spicy. Very long-lasting and comforting, it is the most "vinous" of the eaux-de-vie from the Cazottes distillery. Try it as a grog with citrus fruits, or to macerate cherries and other red fruits or fresh grapes. If you need to use a grape eau-de-vie in cocktails, look no further. Alcohol content: 45%.

Goutte de Poire Williams 2016, Laurent Cazottes

Cave Culinaries
The stems, calyxes, seeds, and even the smallest scab of the estate's Williams pears, harvested when overripe, are removed to preserve the fruit's flavor. Fermentation takes place for six weeks before distillation. You will never have tasted such an intense pear brandy, so faithful to the original fruit. It is the quintessence of the pear. Alcohol content: 45%.

Mauzac rose, a traditional grape variety from the Gaillac region, gives its character and flavor to this delicate and supple eau-de-vie. The grapes are raisined (dried), hand-destemmed, pressed, and subjected to incomplete fermentation, which leaves a little residual sugar. The aromatic profile is very elegant and preserves the natural taste of the grape. An excellent ingredient in desserts and pastries: try it as a substitute for rum in a baba. Alcohol content: 45%.

Elderflower Liqueur 2014, Laurent Cazottes

Cazottes Distillery
Ah, elderflower and its heavenly, sparkling, creamy, and slightly animal fragrance! To make this wine-based aperitif, the Cazottes distillery prunes black elderflowers and leaves only the petals to macerate in wine and brandy. Light ruby, cinnamon, and coral color. Spicy and woody nose: blond tobacco, dried fruits. On the palate, both elderflower and black elderberry are present. Aromatic, long, and slightly animal. As an aperitif with charcuterie: terrines, cured ham, dry sausage. Alcohol content: 17%.
