LA QUINTINYE BLANC VERMOUTH ROYAL vol.16% - 75cl

Created in 2013 at the dawn of the vermouth renaissance, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal is the only vermouth made with Pineau des Charentes and infusions of 37 plants including, of course, mugwort.

Its name comes from the famous agronomist Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinye born in 1626 in Chabanais, asked by Louis XIV's gardener, Le Nôtre, to create the Sun King's botanical garden.
La Quintinye transports us to Versailles in a universe where the joy of life and opulence reign.

Now, at a time when retro-chic and classic cocktails are in fashion, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal was awarded in 2016 as the best French vermouth in the world by Paul Pacult's Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

This vermouth is made with white Pineau des Charentes, a particular type of French aperitif wine that is not normally found in the path of vermouths. Being unusual makes this vermouth something very special and truly unique.
Magnificently herbaceous in honor of King Louis XIV's botanist.

Nose : Breaths of summer breeze, full of honeysuckle, hay and subtle apricot.
Mouth : Light citrus fruits, lavender, fresh herbs from the garden and a little bitter wood.
Finish : Fruity on the finish - lemons, oranges, grapes.

Being so different from other vermouths, La Quintinye Royale Blanc offers something new to create new cocktails.
