The origins of the Massenez distillery date back to the post-Napoleonic era of the 1870s, when Jean-Baptiste Massenez started a home distillery in Urbeis, in the Vallee de Ville, Alsace. This opened the door for his son, Eugene Massenez, who inherited not only his distilling rights but also all his knowledge, which he used to become a recognized master distiller himself. Things really took off in the 1950s with Gabriel Eugene. He established his brandies in the top Michelin-starred restaurants of the time, including those of Bocuse, Verger, Troisgros, Lameloise, Haeberlin, etc. Thus, Massenez became a staple in the finest restaurants of France. Today, Mr. Bernard Baud successfully manages the Massenez distillery in Alsace together with Manou Massenez and Elodie Naslin.
