It all started in 2002. It was a prosperous year in fruits and cherries. Rather than let the fruits dry on the tree of our orchard of Chassagne-Montrachet, I preferred transform them into jam, to consume throughout the year. Then it was the turn of raspberries, mirabelles, quetsches, blackberries picked along the paths, pears from Ivry-en-Montagne ...
In 2016, after several years in the world of big companies, I decided to start making jams. I began by following a specific training, and then I collected the fruits of season : blackberries, figs and pears. At the end of December I could offer five perfumes : Pears Vanilla, Garden Figs, Mirabelles de Lorraine and Prunes d'ente. I also made the Caramel with Salted Butter, according to recipe from Brittany.
During the winter I launched three new perfumes : Clémentines de Corse, Italy Oranges and Italy Citrons. It was also at this time that I opened the store in Chassagne-Montrachet to offer my jams and wine grower's wines.
In March, still waiting for the first fruits of the season, I bought exotic fruits, and made Bananas Vanilla, Bananas Coconut and Mango Coconut. In May I was happy to harvest the cherries from the garden to make Black Cherries, and after tasting different types of strawberries, I selected the Strawberries of France, more subtil in taste.
Then it was the turn of Rasberries, Blueberries, Bergeron Apricots and Red flesh Peaches !
