Sparkling Mead,
L'Arbre aux Abeilles
L'Arbre aux Abeilles' sparkling dry mead is made with the same honey as the still mead and has the same aromatic characteristics with a festive note: persistence, floral, apple, and citrus notes, enhanced by a subtle acidity. The fine bubbles are obtained using the traditional method of ancient Gaillac wines, with the residual must re-fermented inside the bottle. Open on festive occasions, as an aperitif, or even with a meal.
Chestnut Mead,
L'Arbre aux Abeilles' chestnut mead is a unique semi-dry wine. On the palate, it's a dialogue between the sweetness and bitterness characteristic of chestnut honey: woody, forest, and caramelized notes. Serve it as an aperitif or with desserts, game, pâtés, foie gras, and other charcuterie.
Gentiane
"Auvergne is more of a secret than a province; we never seek it as much as when we've already found it." This beautiful phrase by Alexandre Vialatte expresses, in a way, the research of the creators of La Jeannette. These pure Auvergnats had the wonderful idea of reviving gentian, this traditional Auvergne liqueur, which is mainly drunk as an aperitif and blends well with blackcurrant liqueur. You know it: it has lit up many a bar counter with its bright yellow flash, tinged slightly with green, in the clinking of ice cubes. You may have found it, from one brand to another, a little too sweet. It is precisely on its flavor that the creators of La Jeannette have worked.
Many traditional liqueurs have been dusted off in recent years. Generally, this dusting consists of a reduction in sugar content, accompanied by an intensification of flavors and a firm intention to focus on wild, organic, and natural ingredients. For La Jeannette, it's a success. The products are 100% Auvergne: first, fresh gentian roots harvested on the slopes of the Auvergne volcanoes. This is the main element. Next, lemon verbena, also known to Auvergne liqueur makers, an infusion of vine peaches, and a touch of peppermint.
One small sip and you immediately understand that this is no longer Grandpa's gentian, even if it's a grandmother laughing at you on the label. You first perceive that no excess sugar hides the freshness of the ingredients. Because the attack is fresh: the peppermint overlaps the continuous bitter note of the gentian. It's very balanced and very successful. In the mid-palate, the verbena asserts itself and adds to the overall sensation of freshness. It's a beautiful bitterness, the flavor that cures all and lifts the spirits. Needless to say, any cocktail with a hint of bitterness is allowed (negroni, americano, spritz, etc.), but we find it so delicious that we enjoy it on its own over ice, or with one of our favorite tonics, Hysope.
What's more, Jeannette is involved: she's working to save wild gentian. During an Ulule campaign, one euro per bottle sold was donated to an Auvergne association dedicated to preserving this precious root, promoting its replanting in its natural environment. If our aperitif can also be eco-friendly, who's going to complain?
Rivo Gin 2017, Magi
Rivo
The bottle and label are sublime, as is the content (43% alcohol): on the nose, a great freshness welcomes you with notes of pine sap, citrus, and white honey. On the palate, lemon balm and juniper assert themselves, giving way to a lemony note—coriander seed—followed by a bouquet of wild plants. An elegant, tangy gin, best drunk very, very cold, whether you choose to add it to a cocktail (see our martini) or enjoy it on its own.

The right product pairing: Organic Gravlax salmon from Ireland
Gin Mist 37.5° - 50cl
This organic gin, which received the gold medal in the Spirits Selection at the 2016 Brussels World Gin Competition, offers clean, fresh notes of distilled juniper berries, accentuated by lemongrass. Hops, coriander, and angelica root are also included in the blend, resulting in a cloudy gin after distillation, hence its name (mist, "fog"). An almost alchemical recipe whose powerful and penetrating aroma makes you want to enjoy it neat, but gin and tonic also goes very well with it—gin, tonic water, a slice of lime, ice cubes, and why not a simplified gin fizz? One part gin, three parts artisanal lemonade, a few ice cubes, a good shake, and voilà!

The Awen Nature distillery is a factory of magic potions: beverages with a strong Celtic flavor, organic liqueurs with a strong touch of poetry. This Breton distillery, located in Ille-et-Vilaine and run by Julien Fanny, initially focused on absinthe, a liqueur that Julien helped to rehabilitate. It's not "the liqueur that makes you crazy," he says: "we were already crazy before." » He strives—successfully—to recreate the taste of yesteryear, that of absinthes that were once given to children on a sugar cube as a dewormer. “You need a touch of madness to be a distiller today,” says Julien. In addition to absinthe, Julien distills a wide range of spirits and liqueurs: gins, vodkas, botanical rums, Swedish elixir, concoctions inspired by role-playing games… All made from plants, respecting the environment, without preservatives or artificial flavors. An ode to plants that the korrigans must sip in secret, at night, on the moors.
Culinaries Gin, 70cl
Distillerie du Viaduc
We are very proud to offer you Culinaries Gin, our first house spirit, the result of our collaboration with the Distillerie du Viaduc, located in Paris's 12th arrondissement. The distillery team—its two founders, Théo and Quentin—worked to determine the profile of this beverage, agreeing on the recipe and its dominant aromas. We wanted a very fresh gin, with a clean and precise aromatic palette. Once the composition of the macerate was fixed after several trials and errors, the bouquet of plants, 100% organic and French, and spices was brought together by the two distillers: always dried plants, for the preservation and concentration of aromas. The maceration of dried plants indeed gives a more flavorful gin. The ingredients are first macerated in neutral wheat-based alcohol with a 96% alcohol content, and everything is then distilled. Since the double distillation has already been carried out to obtain the alcohol, a triple distillation is carried out with the plants, which are left in the macerate to better extract the essential oils. The gin is distilled in one of the house's two stills. Once the gin is distilled, it is bottled at the distillery itself, in pretty transparent glass bottles of a refreshing aquatic blue.
Culinaries gin has an alcohol content of 43% and comes in 70 centiliter bottles. What's in it? The Culinaries gin recipe includes angelica root, dill seeds, coriander seeds, orange peel, sage leaves, juniper berries, and fenugreek seeds. We wanted it to be aromatic but not overpowering, unlike some contemporary recipes that are more reminiscent of a perfumer's workshop than a distiller's, and we wanted to emphasize freshness, for the greatest pleasure of your gin and tonics or dry martinis. On the nose, angelica immediately announces itself with its heavenly scent; orange peel and dill follow suit, and the remaining ingredients unfold in a subtle, soothing, and comforting range. Fenugreek appears last, enhancing this fresh symphony with a discreet warm and spicy note. We are sure that you will already find the bottle superb and that you will appreciate the contents even more. Serve this gin chilled, refrigerated, or even frozen for a more enjoyable experience. We recommend using a pouring spout for ease of use.
Rivo Sloe Gin, Magi SRL, 2017
Rivo
Unlike white gin, this is only 30% alcohol. To make it, wild sloe berries are harvested in Italy after the first frost, which softens the fruit and develops their flavor. They then macerate for several months in Rivo gin before distillation. A superb ruby red color, slight sweetness, roundness, and no bite: just delicate, fruity notes of wild berries, pitted almonds, almonds, and sweet spices. Alone or in a cocktail, it's wonderful.

Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Vervain by Vincent Spiritueux
The Granier liqueur house offers its first Vervain liqueur, the one that launched the house's beginnings. Entirely organic, artisanal, and sourced locally, it is Vincent's Vervain, Vincent Granier's, who lovingly created its recipe.
The Plant
Lemon verbena (Aloysia citriodora) is a favorite in cottage gardens. A member of the Verbenaceae family, it is cultivated for its fragrant leaves, with a slight hint of lemon peel. It is tonic, calming, fever-reducing, antispasmodic, and digestive. The one infused for this liqueur was grown organically and harvested by hand in the Alps.
Production
To the Vervain are added organic lemon zest (from Menton), organic coriander seeds and lemongrass grown biodynamically in Egypt (the closest and most eco-friendly place to find 100% natural lemongrass). The plants and spices are infused in the natural water of the Boubioz spring, near Lake Annecy, and the alcohol is made from 100% organic wheat. The organic sugar is produced in the Palatine Forest.
Tasting
This organic and artisanal Vervain is sweet and caressing, very fresh, and is not heavy in alcohol or sugar. Easy to drink, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, in a shot, in mixology and as a digestif. We love pairing it with fine charcuterie, for example terrines or hams from the Ferme de Mayrinhac.

Intact flavors
During the tasting, we were amazed by the Granier liqueurs, one after the other. Never have such fresh plant flavors been restored to us by liqueurs. We have the sensation of tasting the plant itself, infused in all its singularity, supported by just the right amount of organic sugar (that is to say, little) produced in the Palatine Forest and just the right amount of alcohol. An organic beer alcohol that allows the plant to convey its message without interference. Not only is it delicious, but it's also an excellent digestif. Vervain, genepi, gentian, mint, or meadowsweet—we guarantee you'll have a great time.

VS-Fine Calvados, Domaine de la Flaguerie
The Domaine de La Flaguerie and the Ducy orchards are located between Caen and Bayeux, in the Bessin region. The Calvados produced there has an aromatic profile linked to this rolling plain region, more lively, more dynamic, and less well-known to the general public than the rounded, sweet style of the Pays d'Auge. Made from the estate's apples, this organic Calvados (40% alcohol) is a perfect example of the local style: the color is amber, with a nose reminiscent of tobacco, pepper, and cinnamon. On the palate, this spicy liveliness is confirmed before rounding out into vanilla apple. A complex Calvados, long in the mouth, full of elegance.
Meadowsweet Spirits
This organic and artisanal meadowsweet liqueur is made by the Granier liqueur factory, near Annecy (Haute-Savoie). It's a true discovery, a very original liqueur with a variety of uses.
The Plant
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is the wild version of a garden plant called astilbe. Found in marshy areas and damp meadows, this plant from the Rosaceae family bears a pretty tuft of small white flowers. Fragrant, loved by bees and melliferous, it is above all very beneficial: rich in salicylic acid, it is at the origin of the manufacture of aspirin and has many medicinal virtues: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, healing, diuretic, vulnerary, digestive, etc., it fights against water retention, rheumatism and fever.
Manufacture
The meadowsweet and mallow flowers are picked in the Alps and macerated in water from the Boubioz spring, near Lake Annecy. The blend is made with organic wheat alcohol and organic sugar produced in the Vosges and the Palatine Forest. The other ingredients are Menton lemon zest and Timut pepper.
Tasting
A revelation with its exceptional aroma, its slightly vinous and fruity taste reminiscent of caramelized apple and black tea, with nuances of red port. This very fragrant liqueur surprises and seduces the palate, while communicating the medicinal virtues of meadowsweet. With its delicious flavor, this organic meadowsweet liqueur deserves to be enjoyed on its own, but also on ice, as a refreshing long drink, as an aperitif, a digestif, in cooking and in mixology. It will be served with delicious tapas: Iberian bellota ham, cecina or beef ham. On the sweet side, it goes with all pastries: cakes, gateaux, tartes …
