Quince Eau De Vie | Clos Saint Joseph

Quince Eau De Vie | Clos Saint Joseph

The Clos Saint Joseph is a distillery born from the passion of Charles-Guillaume and Blandine Simon, two lovers of the Burgundian terroir, who took over a historic trading house founded in 1840 in Meursault.

Their commitment is to revive exceptional spirits by combining respect for traditions with artisanal innovation. Through a rigorous selection of fruits and meticulous distillation, they create eaux-de-vie of unparalleled finesse, where each sip tells the story and authenticity of the terroir.

The production process of this Quince Eau-de-Vie is based on a meticulous method that ensures an intense and natural extraction of aromas. The quinces are first subjected to a slow and prolonged infusion in alcohol, allowing the extraction of all the aromatic richness and fruity depth. Once this maceration is complete, the distillation is carried out in a precise and artisanal manner to preserve the purity and complexity of the fruit while revealing its subtle aromatic nuances. The resulting eau-de-vie is then aged in glass demijohns, stored in a cellar for several years, a maturation process that allows the refinement of texture, softening of the alcoholic structure, and bringing great elegance to the whole.

This unique process yields a crystalline and elegant eau-de-vie, where the quince expresses all its deliciousness and freshness.

The Quince Eau-de-Vie from Clos Saint Joseph stands out with its clear and brilliant appearance, a testament to its artisanal purity.

On the nose, it reveals an intense and straightforward aroma of quince paste, with floral and slightly honeyed touches, evoking autumn orchards.

On the palate, the attack is smooth and delicate, revealing delicious notes of candied fruits and ripe quince. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, providing a velvety sensation without any harshness. The finish is long and refined, leaving a persistent aromatic imprint, infused with freshness and elegance.
