Vertige
Distillerie Sentema
Vertige is a remarkable creation by Distillerie Sentema, nestled in the heights of the Alpes-Maritimes, between sky, garrigue, and sea. This spirit, akin to a gin in spirit but unique in its base, is crafted from wine brandy rather than neutral alcohol, which gives it a rare aromatic depth and true personality.
Everything here is conceived in harmony with nature: certified organic, Vertige highlights carefully selected local botanicals: wild juniper berries, Menton IGP lemon peels, fragrant verbena, coriander seeds, and angelica roots. These plants are macerated for two weeks before distillation to extract essential oils without altering the balance of aromas.
The nose is astonishingly pure, blending the zesty notes of lemon, the citrusy and vegetal freshness of verbena, and the resinous signature of juniper. On the palate, the attack is silky and lively, with a soft yet precise structure, and a finish that lingers on citrus and dried herb notes, with a beautiful tension.
More than just a gin, Vertige is a refined expression of the Provençal terroir, combining floral elegance, subtle bitterness, and vegetal freshness. It can be enjoyed neat over ice, or in a high-end cocktail, where it will brilliantly replace a London Dry with a sunny and local personality.
Mint
Distillerie du Viaduc
With this bottle of Mint, Distillerie du Viaduc offers a novel and ultra-fresh interpretation of mint, far from the sugary clichés of classic liqueurs. Here, no syrup, no artificial flavors, no artifice: only three varieties of French organic mint – peppermint, grapefruit mint, and spearmint – macerated for a long time, then distilled at low temperature in an artisanal still.
This spirit has an alcohol content of 30% vol., yet remains extremely delicate. The distillation process subtly reveals the full range of herbal and menthol notes of the plants without becoming aggressive or overwhelming. The color is clear, crystalline. On the nose, it offers a pure scent of fresh mint, cut grass, and chlorophyll. On the palate, the attack is soft, the texture round, but the freshness is immediate and intense, balanced by a tangy note reminiscent of a green citrus zest. The finish is long, persistent, with an almost medicinal yet elegant freshness.
Sugar-free, this bottle of Mint positions itself between a digestif, a cocktail base, and an ingredient for creative cooking. Enjoy it neat, well chilled, to accompany a dark chocolate dessert, a sorbet, or simply to conclude a meal. It also works perfectly as an aperitif, lengthened with a dry tonic or sparkling water, like an "adult mint water" for discerning palates.
A unique, botanical, natural, invigorating spirit that ushers mint into a new era.
Ánizo
Distillerie du Viaduc
Ánizo is a modern, refined, and uncompromising interpretation of anise-flavored spirits, born in the heart of Île-de-France, in the workshops of Distillerie du Viaduc. Crafted exclusively from organic French botanicals and aromatics, this spirit is inspired by the great Mediterranean traditions, but with a fresh, honest, and committed perspective.
Here, no additives, no added sugar, no artificial flavors: only a maceration of green anise seeds, fennel, coriander, and thyme, slowly distilled in a handcrafted still, to obtain a liqueur of great aromatic precision, clear and vibrant. This choice of integral distillation gives Ánizo a pure, fluid, and light texture, while respecting the intensity of the aniseed profile.
The nose is clean, intense yet elegant, with round anise aromas enhanced by a breath of garrigue. On the palate, fennel takes over with sweet and spicy flavors, joined by the citrusy freshness of coriander and the herbaceous power of thyme. The finish evokes the Mediterranean coast, between Hellenic notes and persistent botanical freshness.
Ánizo is perfect as an aperitif, diluted with fresh water like a natural pastis, or used as a cocktail base for dry and aromatic creations. It embodies a contemporary vision of anise-flavored spirits, more vegetal, more straightforward, more vibrant.
Covenant Rouge 2018
Danis dans la Vigne
The quiet strength of a patient and vibrant Cahors
With Covenant 2018, the Danis dans la vigne estate continues its meticulous work with Malbec, offering it a rare setting of time and care. This natural red from Cahors, organically grown on clay-limestone soil, benefited from an extraordinary aging process: 2 years in barrels, followed by 4 years in vats before bottling. All of this, without any rush, without fining, without filtration, in an artisanal approach that is deeply respectful of the grape and the terroir.
This wine, with its dark, almost opaque color, immediately conveys a sense of depth. The long and controlled aging gives it a complex aromatic expression, where violet, the signature of Malbec, blends with candied black fruits, sweet spices, and a delicate hint of melted wood.
A natural red of character and aging potential
On the palate, Covenant 2018 is ample, structured, yet perfectly balanced. The tannins are present but velvety, the texture is juicy, enveloping, and the saline finish extends the elegance. This wine has lost none of its vibrancy despite its six years of aging — on the contrary, it gains in depth with each breath.
To be enjoyed today or kept in the cellar for another 10 years or more, this cuvée is ideal with roasted red meat, an autumn barbecue, or a truffle dish. Serve it at 16-18°C, no decanting necessary, in a large balloon glass to release all its complexity.

Serve between 14 and 16°C, with no decanting necessary, this wine can be enjoyed now or kept for up to 5 years to appreciate its development.
Mint Spirits
This organic, artisanal mint liqueur is produced locally by the Granier liqueur factory, near Annecy, in Haute-Savoie. It is made from peppermint, faithfully reproducing its fresh flavor.
The Plant
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a member of the large mint family, belonging to the Lamiaceae family. A spontaneous hybrid between water mint and spearmint, it was first cultivated in England in the 17th century. Peppermint is present in many aromatic and medicinal products.
Production
The mint is grown organically by growers-gatherers in Auvergne, dried, and infused in 40% organic alcohol. It is blended by the Granier liquorist factory with an organic sugar syrup produced in the Vosges and the Palatine Forest.
Tasting
Refreshing and reassuring—it doesn't taste like toothpaste at all—this mint is also powerful and long-lasting. A slight hint of pepper on the finish. It has a 26% alcohol content with less than 5g of sugar per liter. Drink it neat with a few ice cubes; it will put your mind and stomach back in place. It will go very well with a square (or two) of chocolate or a stuffed lamb breast from the Ferme de Mayrinhac.
Learn more about Granier liqueurs
The Granier liqueur factory — two brothers, Vincent and Stéphane Granier — produces artisanal liqueurs from the Haute-Savoie region. Flavor, smoothness, and balance are their great qualities, resulting from a meticulous and measured infusion technique to minimize extraction.
Wild or organically grown
Plants grown organically, or picked in the mountains surrounding Annecy, are obtained through short supply chains and for this reason reflect the flora of the steep meadows or gardens of Haute-Savoie. Everything is organic and without additives, from the initial infusion to bottling.
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. Verbena, genepi, gentian, mint, or meadowsweet—we guarantee you'll have a great time.
Gentian Spirits
Granier Gentian is an organic and artisanal liqueur, sourced locally and produced by the Granier brothers near Annecy, in Haute-Savoie. It is part of a long tradition of wild gentian liqueur from the French mountains (Massif Central and the Alps), whose harvest is subject to rigorous controls to ensure the plant regenerates normally.
The Plant
Yellow gentian (Gentiana lutea) is a tall mountain plant whose root, extracted by specialized gatherers, the "gentianaires," is used in herbalism and liqueur making. Difficult to extract, it was nicknamed "the poor man's quinquina" because of its beneficial and digestive bitter ingredients. The gentian used for this liqueur comes from a sustainable development sector, controlled by the Gentiana Lutea association, which manages the exploitation of this wild plant.
Production
The gentian root is infused in 96% organic wheat alcohol, before blending with an organic sugar syrup made by a landowner harvesting in the Palatine Forest. The water comes from the Boubioz spring, near Lake Annecy. No additives are added during production. The liqueur, aged in rum barrels, includes coriander seeds and lemon zest. Unlimited aging potential.
Tasting
This gentian has everything going for it, starting with its bitterness. This is indeed the desired flavor in this liqueur, and the Granier brothers know how to let it express itself with frankness and simplicity in order to preserve the strong identity of this noble plant. A few drops on a sugar cube, or a small glass as an aperitif, or as a digestif (with or without ice). Sovereign in case of stomach problems, tones the liver. Despite its bitterness, it can be paired with various dishes, especially as an aperitif. Try it with a ham and butter sandwich! It goes well with charcuterie, cured meats, dry sausages for example. Idea: pour a few drops into your coffee! Or in the batter of a chocolate cake.

Armagnac The Morning Dew Spirits
Entirely organic (Demeter, AB, and Eurofeuille labels), biodynamic, and artisanal, The Morning Dew can challenge your Armagnac experience with its transparency. It is indeed a young Armagnac, which owes its paleness to four years of aging in oak barrels. Classified VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale). Developed by Maurice de Mandelaëre (Domaine de Saoubis), the only biodynamic Armagnac producer, it is distributed by Hootch and has an alcohol content of 44%.
Development
The Morning Dew is made from 100% Baco grapes grown biodynamically in Bas-Armagnac and aged in 200-liter microbarrels. It is neither reduced nor filtered, and is free of coloring.

Tasting
It's a real treat, a delicacy. Dried fruits, honey, and spices, an irresistible taste and floral notes. The silky, round palate reveals fruit, vanilla, and caramel. In its prime, it is suitable for all occasions: digestif, anytime tasting, dessert, or mixology. With this, dare to try a Iberian bellota ham, that's good, we have some. Or a ham from porc noir de Bigorre, a pastry or a dessert with Agen prunes.

Discover Armagnac
This alcohol, the oldest in France, is so much more than a drop to flavor a Landes tourtière or prune ice cream (even if we love those too)! Armagnac is complex, deep, multidimensional, the pure fruit of its terroir, and Hootch gives you a wonderful opportunity to discover it.

Casa Rossa Red 2022
Casa Rossa, a red or rather rosé wine leaning towards red, is none other than the Italian version of Vers la Maison rouge, a Savoyard cuvée by Jean-Yves Péron. It is an organic, biodynamic, and natural wine made from three grape varieties: Grignolino, Freisa, and Barbera.
Vinification
The organic grapes that make up Casa Rossa are harvested in Casale Monferrato, in Piedmont. The Barbera and Freisa undergo direct pressing, and the Grignolino undergoes carbonic maceration with a two-month cap-punching. The three grape varieties are blended before a year of aging in 300-liter barrels. This period is followed by a year of bottle aging.
Tasting
Jean-Yves Péron's Casa Rossa is a rosé that's not far from a red. The tangy Barbera grape brings liveliness; the Grignolino and Freisa (so named for their strong strawberry aromas) give a vinous side that makes Casa Rossa a beautiful winter wine, not a summer rosé. The wine is fruity, tangy, aromatic, and very delicious. It goes well on its own and with accompaniments (pasta, Italian dishes, etc.).
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.).

On narrow, steep surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italian-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers in Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his winemaking and aging experiences.
La Bottière White 2022
La Bottière, here in magnum format, is a dry white wine made from 100% organic and natural Jacquère grapes. It is vinified by Jean-Yves Péron in Savoie using the Jacquère grape variety and Vin de France.
Vinification
Various plots with mica-schist soils near Albertville, planted with old vines, among other things, produced Jean-Yves Péron's La Bottière cuvée. The grapes are harvested at the end of October and macerated for two weeks using carbonic maceration. Aging is one year in 300-liter barrels.
Tasting
This maceration wine offers a beautiful minerality and round, delicious notes of white fruits. In magnum format, it can be drunk now but will evolve for several more years.
