Very aromatic, the genepi noir (artemisia genipi Weber) grows at high altitude, from 2000m. Each plant only has five or six flowers, compared to nearly thirty for the yellow genepi. Its rarity and low yield explain why it is practically no longer used in the production of herbal liqueurs.

Tasting & Service

Eye

Intense, brilliant amber color with dark green reflections.

Nose

Powerful, sustained and open that evokes a herbaceous universe where we find notes of dried herbs and liquorice.

Palate

Round and ample, with a nice balance between the floral and herbaceous aromas of the genepi and pastry notes that evoke honey and buttered biscuits. We find finely spiced notes before a long and intense finish.

Service

In a wine glass, slightly chilled (12 to 14°).
