Mirabelle Eau de Vie Hagmeyer
Cousin of the quetsche in Lorraine, yellow with small red cheeks, it thrives in the heavy clay-limestone soils around Balbronn.
Exuberant and sweet, Mirabelle plum brandy delivers its aromas as soon as it flows into the glass, and there, after having breathed it a first time, let it deliver itself and discover itself for a pleasure always found in the tasting.

The Hagmeyer artisanal distillery
The Hagmeyer family and their team present their artisanal distillery in Balbronn, a small Alsatian village in the hills of the sub-Vosges, 20 km west of Strasbourg; Willy distills mainly the fruits of his own harvest. Christophe takes care of the maintenance of the orchards and vineyards until the harvest, with the help of André. Michèle and Elsa welcome you on the phone or at the store in Balbronn. Arboriculturist and distiller, the Hagmeyer family is heir to a know-how several hundred years old. The Hagmeyer Distillery currently employs 3 extra-familial employees and seasonal workers during periods of intense activity. The terroir around Balbronn, i.e. the combination of the soil, the climate, the knowledge of the men and the technique, allows the elaboration of particularly aromatic eaux-de-vie.
