Joseph Cartron Framboise Sauvage Eau de Vie (45%)

This is a wild raspberry eau-de-vie from Joseph Cartron, bottled at 45% vol. Only wild raspberries are used, picked fully ripe in woodland clearings and undergrowth, after a strict selection of the fruit. The first nose is intense and expressive, with fresh fruit, while the second is finer still, with pure fruit and nothing foreign to it. The attack is round, the mouth soft with fresh fruit flavours, and the length runs to 10 to 15 caudalies. It is served as a digestif, chilled to about 6°C.
