This fascinating story started in 1993, Jean-Pierre makes wine and ratafia in his cellar. The Aperitifs de Philomène saw the light of the day through the simple and strong will for life rather than through an industrial fact or a synthetic preparation.

The liquor man says actively that his love for nature and well-done work are not obstacles to innovation, neither are respect of tradition. "Aperitifs de Philomène" are unique because they are home made and prepared with care. Wine is not cooked twice and is mixed with tree and soil flowers...A smooth and sore smell, the delicate refreshment of nature, sometimes smooth or fruity, some other times sore or spicy.

Their location is GRAND-RECHAIN : The Belgian Haute Ardennes. Philomène takes you to this region, noble for its natural patrimony full of contrasts ...smooth and sore. The dry high plateau of Fagnes borders on greenly valleys. The shimmer nature of Val de l'Amblème exposes a permanent green with its forests and orchards, carrying this fruity smell. There, cascades twirl around and bend to the river. In a sweet and welcoming nature, many counts and legends enlighten our summer days like musical counts and happy ending adventures of imps and fairies. You would not believe it ... Nature can be both so harsh and fascinating: Fagnes, with its golden and tawny colours. This arid plateau where a bitter nature took place, resists to cold and wind. The Ardennes has rich stories that will shiver you: high-way men and werewolves, it provokes captivating feelings, with a notion of spiciness and soreness. You will taste in the core of every aperitif, a special taste of Fagnes, stylish and sore, generous and fruity, reminding you in every gulp, of the valleys of Fagnes.
