The birth of Distillerie Massenez goes back to the 1870s when Jean-Baptiste Massenez started as home distiller in Urbeis, in the Valle de Vill. Jean-Baptiste Massenez unknowingly opened the way forward for his descendants who would inherit the status of home distiller: his son, Eugene Massenez inherited not only the privilege but also his fathers expertise and went on to become a recognised master distiller himself." - the Distillery

Since 1870, Massenez is specialized in the distillation of fruits. Real pioneer, Eugene Massenez was the first to succeed in distilling Wild Raspberry in 1913, this eau-de-vie was the favorite of the Queen of Sweeden at that time.

You can now find them in the most prestigious hotels, restaurants and bars.
