300 bottles produced of this tasty nectar for your summer evenings… and already a hundred or so sold in the blink of an eye. It’s happening at La Rustine in Epervans!
It’s a work carried out by 8 hands, between Arnaud Conchon, brewer in Epervans, Remi Hurel – illustrator in Brancion, Didier Paternoster – spice grocer from Uchizy and the Chevalier Alambiqué in Lacrost. A year of work to achieve this first result, which should arouse interest among Pastis lovers. “A perfectly respected recipe allowing us to have the right to the name Pastis” explains Arnaud Conchon, who has been campaigning for the creation of this type of product for a long time. Three successive distillations were necessary from a barley brew before working on the aromas which include the traditional star anise, cinnamon, fennel, green anise and licorice.
Being on the banks of the Saône, it is quite natural that this 100% Saône et Loire pastis has taken the name of “l’Attrape-brume”. The 50 cl bottle is sold at 36 euros, reminding that a significant part of the sale is donated to the State. Much less addictive than the traditional Pastis that we all know, because it does not contain sugar, the Attrape-Brume displays 41° and it is to be discovered before the stock runs out. La Rustine is open from Tuesday to Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. – For security, you can reserve your bottle at 06 89 10 39 79.
