FRUIT BRANDIES<br />
– FRENCH EXPERTISE –<br />
Artisanal fruit brandies<br />
Quintessential French craftsmanship<br />
The spirits industry is increasingly cornered by industrially-produced liquors, very<br />
often imported. The French drink 140 million bottles of whisky a year, but just 2 or<br />
3 of fruit brandy. And yet, there was a time when almost every farmer was a home<br />
distiller. France still has some top quality artisanal distilleries producing gourmetstyle<br />
products for consumers in the know.<br />
