During the 90’s: they invested in equipment & product development. In 2000, they moved to the Ferme de la Cour - (Court of Justice Farm).

Since its creation in 1946 it has forged a solid reputation for excellence. And with reason! The ‘king’s jester’ brand follows strict quality norms right from the beginning; distillation in the purest tradition, state-of-the art technology, rigour at each stage of the process and un-treated fresh fruit as the basic ingredient. The passion of the Master Distillers can be seen in each and every one of their products. Beginning with their flagship drink, l’Eau de Villée. Quality without compromise • Only the best fruits from the best terroirs • Modern technology that allows to capture the essence of the fruit • Large palet of fine and natural aromas • Each product is unique with its own character • No use of artifical aromas, conservatives or additives • Ecological and qualitative packaging Courtyard of distillery A passion for fruit... fruit selection and cutting • Aim of distillation is to extract and concentrate flavor and aromas therefore THE best and fresh fruit is chosen. • The selection criteria differ according to the fruit and will choose from the best regions in Europe like Spain, France, Switzerland. Approx 300 tons of fruit, more than 2 tons of berries ans 15,000L. of apple juice is used every year. A passion for fruit... fruit selection and cutting • The production of the distillery is active by the seasons of the various fruit harvests. • After inspection & sorting, the fruit is cut by the fruit cutting machine and the musts obtained are than transferred directly into the fermentation and maceration tanks. Fermentation and maceration • Only fruit rich in juice and sugar can be fermented. • Fermentation is the slow transformation of the fruit’s sugar into alcohol aided by specific yeasts. Fruit musts are fermented for 3 – 4 weeks under controlled temps which allows the flavor to come through Fermentation and maceration • Fruit, berries etc. with low sugar content are macerated in alcohol, allowing for their flavors to be absorbed. • After the fermentation/maceration process comes the distillation of the musts: the aim is to extract this “Eau-de-Vie” from the pulp, skin, stone and water from the musts. Distillation • Distillation is a technique dating back 2000 yrs. Consists of heating the musts in a copper still and collecting the alc. vapors during the cooling process or condensation coils. They take care to select the middle part known as the “coeur de chauffé” (the heart) between the1st. alc. produced, known as the “têtes de distillation” (the head) and dregs at the end Distillation • ONLY the heart, titrated at 70% volume is used for final cut. The dregs are used for agricultural fertilizer. The 4 copper bain-marie and vapor injection sills are equipped with rectification and concentration columns and are ideal for refining the “Eaux-de-Vie” by concentrating the flavor & aroma components of the musts. Operating stills is a delicate & complex art done only by their master distillers Alambics of distillery Aging Cellar Aging • Rest and aging is essential for the finesse and complexity of the Eaux-de-Vie The White Eau-de-Vie (pure) rest in stainless steel tanks, protected from the light but not from temperatures variations which are necessary for the slow aging process Some Eaux-de-Vie’s and the Genever are aged in oak barrels. Combination of air, oak, time and Eau-de-Vie is acquired to get the right delicate flavor Blending and Cutting • Just before bottling, the Eau-de-Vie is mixed with water that has a low mineral content to obtain exactly the right degree in terms of taste. • Natural fruit juices are used for the liquors which gives it the right color and sweetness. Each product is subject to minimum filtering which grantees maximum flavor and aroma. Decanting and Bottling • Decanting into the 20cl “demoiselle” bottles and 70 or 75cl. in the “Lady” bottles is performed by a decanting machine that rinses, fills, caps and labels the bottles on both sides. • 150 cl. Magnum are filled, labeled, corked and sealed with wax by hand. Tasting • The bottle finally reaches you after a minimum of 2 years uninterrupted, attentive care. Keep the bottles out of the light as this can be detrimental to the correct safekeeping of the Eaux-de-Vie and Liquors. Eau de Villée should be put in the freezer so that it remains fresh and highly digestible. The Eaux-de-Vie and Liquors should be served at around 5°C without ice.
