After a manual harvest which lasts from April to October, the plants are macerated in Dame-Jeanne in superfine alcohol. Each plant is macerated separately before being blended together and then placed in oak tuns for a year. The distillate is then drawn off, then the liquorice and the essence of anise are added before the reduction to the final degree.
