In the distillery in Burgundy, the violette figs are quickly cut in half and soaked in neutral alcohol that has previous been distilled in Northern France. The violette figs are left to infuse for a minimum period of 3 months. The neutral spirit extracts the beautiful color and subtle flavour of the fig during this time. Eventually it takes 7 years to come to the final result.
