The Artisan

Absinthe de l'Herboriste

In Fleurier, droguist-herborists Pierre-André and Cosette Virgilio distill an absinthe drawn from a recipe passed down through three generations. Heir to a family practice, a discreet figure of the clandestine period, and master to a new generation of distillers, Virgilio embodies a rare continuity rooted in plants, practice, and the transmission of craft.

Behind the Bottle

Expression

A Val-de-Travers absinthe of singular architecture and colour, where structure and texture assume an unusual role within the classical vegetal framework.

Character

A composed, direct opening evolves toward a broader texture than traditional absinthe. The finish is dry, persistent, and built around measured tension.

Ritual

Best enjoyed neat or over ice to experience the expression in its most direct and unmediated form.

Gourmet Pairings

Best enjoyed as an aperitif, where its aromatic expression can unfold fully before a meal. Served on its own, it offers a poised and elegant introduction to the tasting experience.

Interpretation

Absinthe Enchênée explores a register rarely pursued within the category. Through its relationship to structure and texture, it introduces uncommon density while remaining faithful to the vegetal identity of the Val-de-Travers. A singular, demanding expression — discreetly foundational.
