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.

Heritage
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.
Character
A restrained equilibrium of delicate herbs and measured bitterness, guided by anise and regional leaves, where each nuance yields itself slowly rather than declares itself. The opening is clear yet disciplined, unfolding into a dry, refined finish — an absinthe shaped for those who value depth above immediacy.
Ritual
Slowly diluted with iced water to allow the louche to form naturally. Best served without sugar to preserve the balance and vegetal character. Intended for focused, unhurried tasting. Suitable for experienced drinkers and classic absinthe service.
Gourmet Pairings
An elegant companion to aged cheeses and artisanal charcuterie. The interplay between savory richness and herbal complexity creates a balanced and memorable tasting experience.
Interpretation
Here, absinthe carries the mark of a discreet art — modest in gesture, precise in intention — embodying an authentic expression of the Val-de-Travers ritual. A heightened presence, without demonstration.
