Hepp Poire Williams Eau de Vie

At the beginning of the XX century, the HEPP family were travelling fruit distillers, working from orchard to orchard around Uberach village. In 1972, Rene Hepp and his son Thracis established their own distillery and started to sell their eaux de vie which are today still exclusively distilled from Uberach vicinity fruits.

Now, working with three 400-litre Carl stills, Yannick Hepp follows in his forebears’ footsteps to craft completely natural fruit eaux-de-vie of impeccable technical mastery. Concentrated and precise, they bring back fine flavours all too often forgotten. His range — artisanal, pared down to the essentials — is thoroughly contemporary.
