Quercy Chasselas, Martinique AOP rum, Tahiti vanilla, Espelette pepper.
A word from Cave de France: Quercy des îles is an original aperitif in that none of its fabulous aromas overpower the others, achieving an absolutely perfect balance between 4 ingredients representative of France's extraordinary diversity: Quercy grape, Tahiti vanilla, Espelette pepper, Martinique rum...
We were among the first wine merchants to offer Quercy des îles in our shop. Its presence on cavedefrance.com was a natural fit.
Discover this exceptional aperitif quickly, appreciate its sweetness, roundness, balance, and aromatic richness. Serve chilled, it's a real treat!
The special characteristic of this aperitif comes from the maceration of exotic fruits, mainly pineapple and vanilla. These tropical flavors bring a sweet and sunny touch that pairs surprisingly well with the local white wine made from Moissac Chasselas.
Quercy des Iles also contains rum, which gives it extra depth and warmth. Rum, often associated with the islands, reinforces the exotic aspect of this beautiful nectar.
In short, it's a drink that bridges the gap between the traditional Quercy region and Caribbean influences, perfect for a fresh and original aperitif. It can be enjoyed chilled, on its own or with ice, and can also be used in cocktails.
A word from the producers: The story of Quercy des îles begins on the hills above the town of Moissac. Here, Edouard BOURREAU discovered the golden pearl, a famous fruit born from the lands of Quercy: the Chasselas de Moissac.
Equipped with a small 20-liter press in his early days and after 1001 tests, Edouard blended four French, all-natural ingredients from four paradise regions: the golden Chasselas from Quercy, the AOP rum from Martinique, the exceptional vanilla from Tahiti, and the AOP Espelette pepper with its Basque Country character.
A daring recipe, still kept secret today, whose alliance of flavors and aromas gives birth to Quercy des îles. Edouard quickly surrounded himself with a team of friends, no less than 31 partners!
But he personally ensured the product's referencing and marketing, mainly through short distribution channels and specialized outlets: in shops in the villages of Quercy and its surroundings, at wine merchants, in delicatessens, in bars and restaurants. A real success for its creator who then decided to pass the torch with the hope of new development. On May 31, 2016, Edouard officially handed over the artisan company, which moved to the locality of Le Bousquet, in Montaigu-de-Quercy (30 kilometers north of Moissac, north of the Tarn-et-Garonne department, Occitanie region, Chasselas de Moissac AOP area). A new adventure began.
