The links with Maison Massenez
The Burrus family has been a partner of the Massenez family since 1981. “Each time we took on a new establishment, the first thing we did was to put the Massenez Eaux-de-Vie on our menu,” says Jean-Philippe Burrus, President of Salpa Restauration (Chocolaterie Schaal, Musée du Chocolat, Maison Artzner, the Secret restaurants of the Grands Express in Geispolsheim, the Relais de la Poste in La Wantzenau and the Crocodile in Strasbourg). “It is a Maison that is close to our hearts. Each generation has created a bond; my father with Gaby and his children, (Manou and Dominique) and I became friends with Jean-Benoît, Manou’s son. Today, a new story is being written with the President Bernard Baud. But this partnership is obvious, thanks to the exceptional quality of Massenez products” he says. “For us, a family meal always ends with an Eau-de-Vie, to finish in beauty, to prolong a moment of grace, by sharing, by languorously tasting this “glass of friendship”, making the meal unforgettable.
My favourite? It’s the Framboise Sauvage: 8 kg of concentrated raspberries in a small bottle! But my father’s (Jean-Paul Burrus) is undeniably the Golden Eight® Liqueur that he likes to introduce at every reception we organise”.
“Stories and partnerships are written as innovations are made, and this truth belongs to each company”, says Bernard Baud. We are starting a chapter with the new “Massenez Treasures” segment, launched with Golden Eight®, followed this year by Dom Pacello Royal Orange®. These are great French-style Liqueurs, exceptional, produced with absolutely extraordinary materials, the result of years of work, research and development to achieve total purity, with no additives whatsoever, no added flavours”.
The two men understand each other: “Eau-de-Vie at the end of a meal is a window that opens onto emotion, memories, life stories”.
