In 1913, his son Eugène Massenez distilled wild raspberry for the first time, this eau-de-vie was appreciated by the Queen of Sweden and the distillery became official supplier to the court of the King of Sweden.

A new distillery was opened in 1979 to respond to their strong growth. The brand then developed in 110 countries and diversified its product range. In 2010, Distillerie Massenez joined forces with Grandes Distilleries Peureux . Bernard Baud, President of the Grandes Distilleries Peureux, on the other side of the Vosges and famous for its Griottines, breathed new life into the Distillerie Massenez, while retaining the House's DNA.
Djebenah Buna coffee liqueur is a liqueur produced in Ethiopia from high quality Ethiopian coffee . "Buna" means "coffee" in Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia. It reflects the cultural and historical importance of coffee in Ethiopia, which is considered the birthplace of coffee in the world. The liqueur is made from coffee beans roasted by Vincent Ballot (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) which are macerated in neutral alcohol for several days. Sugar and other ingredients are then added to create a smooth, complex liquor with intense coffee notes. It is usually served as an aperitif or digestive, and can also be used to flavor cocktails or desserts.
