Step 5: Assembling-cutting.
Just before bottling, the brandy is mixed with water low
in minerals to obtain the ideal degree for tasting and marketing.
For example: 43% vol for Williams Pear N°1.
Liqueurs and sweet pleasures are mixed with fruit juice to
achieve a colour and smoothness
which are softer on the palate.
Each product is then filtered to ensure total quality.
Step 6: Decanting.
The decanting in 20 cl “Demoiselle” and 70 and
75 cl “Lady” bottles is performed by a specific
machine that rinses, fills, caps and labels the bottle on
both front and back.
150 cl Magnum bottles are filled, labelled, corked, and sealed
with wax manually.
The different gift packages, tasting cases, and group set
cases are carried out manually at the distillery for one last
verification before shipping to cellarmen, specialised shops
and restaurants.
Step 7: Tasting.
Finally, the bottle reaches your table after at least two
years of uninterrupted, attentive care.
You should take care in turn to keep the bottles away from
light, as it can prove detrimental to the proper keeping of
brandies and liqueurs. The Eau de Villée should be
put in the freezer to be kept fresh and very digestive at
all times. Brandies, liqueurs and sweet pleasures should be
served at 5 °C without ice, and brandies aged in oak casks
ideally at room temperature.
Our motto is: “Abus non tollit usum,” which means
roughly “use, not abuse,” or even more freely,
“a brandy distilled with passion is best appreciated
in moderation.”
The 20 products of the Biercée distillery are sold
in specialised wine and spirit shops and by cellarmen. They
can also be enjoyed at quality restaurants.
