THE MIRABELLE PLUM HOUSE
The Grallet family distillery in Rozelieures, offering a tour of the distillery, projection and tasting
In the Grallet family, we have been distillers from father to son since 1895. It is therefore quite logical that the Maison de la mirabelle, located by a happy coincidence in the heart of Lorraine, was born here. The Grallet family, with its 25 hectares of mirabelle plum trees, is today what one could call the ambassador of the famous little yellow fruit and of the Lorraine region in this area. Here, you can learn all about the mirabelle plum with a discovery tour, projections and a magnificent sound and light show in the distillery, which honours this pretty yellow-orange fruit in a brand new scenography. In a word, the making of Mirabelle plum brandy, from the planting of the tree to the distillation of the alcohol, will hold no secrets for you. You will be able to exchange your impressions with the other visitors during tasting sessions that are as convivial as they are tasty. You will then be able to decide which product suits your taste buds best and buy it in the pretty shop. A must at the end of your visit! You will know that you can find some very original nectars, such as this famous whisky from Lorraine! And you can even find perfume there! Yes, you may not have known it, but the scents of the little yellow fruit are so rich and precious that they inspired Anne-Marie Grallet to create the perfume Mirabelle Unique... Amazing, isn't it? So much richness for such a small fruit...

J ai mis 4 étoiles, pas 5, car il y a un petit bémol, à mon avis assez facile à corriger. Voilà : Nous étions 4 personnes à venir, prévisions 02h30 de route, nous avons donc prévu pour arriver à l heure, ou un peu avant, mais surtout pas en retard. Nous sommes donc arrivés à 08h15 pour RV à 9h. En arrivant, strictement rien pour boire un petit café ou un thé, pas un seul établissement...
Je me suis adressé à la maîtresse des lieux qui est arrivée à 08h30, et qui nous a proposé d entrer pour nous permettre de visiter les toilettes. On a demandé si elle connaissait un endroit pour aller boire un petit café, réponse non, s il faut je vais aller en faire un à la maison... On lui a dit de laisser tomber... Comme apparemment il y avait des gens qui venaient de plus loin encore que nous, ne serait-il pas judicieux de prévoir dans un petit coin, il y a la place, une petite cafetière, une bouilloire et des gobelets, pour quand on arrive ?
( Car du coup, la 1ère boisson que nous avons absorbé à 10h30/ 11h, depuis 5h du matin, c est ... Du whisky...???? ) La 1ère gorgée pique un peu...????
Remarque, encore une fois, en toute sympathie, car sinon tout était très bien !????
