Grandes Distilleries Peureux is the world's leading producer of fruit eaux-de-vie and the world leader in the maceration of
fruit (including 3,000 tonnes of morello cherries). The company sells the equivalent of 300,000 crates of fruit eaux-de-vie per
year (or almost 4 million 70 cl bottles) with in particular, the La Cigogne brand of eaux-de-vie. It produces almost one million
jars of Griottines (wild morello cherries macerated in liqueur and Kirsch) and offers a range of traditional liqueurs. At the present time, Mister Bernard BAUD is chairman of Grandes Distilleries Peureux. Auguste Peureux founded his Distillery in 1864 in Fougerolles, at the foot of the Vosges, in a magnificent valley on Triassic terrain. The Distilleries specialised in the production of fruit eaux-de-vie, including the famous Kirsch, which rapidly gained a considerable reputation under the brand name La Cigogne®. The homeland of Kirsch and fruit eau-de-vie, the town of Fougerolles benefits from virtually pure water, free of mineral salts, exceptional for the adjustment and quality of eaux-de-vie, and demonstrates solid know-how. Its Kirsch cherry orchards (gean, obtained by grafting wild cherry trees) are renowned the world over.

FRUIT QUALITY ASSURANCE IS GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY
IN THE COMPANY’S OVERALL QUALITY POLICY.
With Griottines®, the company’s commitment is at a very deep level, as it is involved in monitoring the wild Morello cherries from flowering through to the ripening of the fruits and their harvest. http://www.griottines.com/
