Behind the Bottle

Expression

A Val-de-Travers absinthe blanche of more assertive presence, where anise is supported by a pronounced vegetal structure dominated by grande absinthe.

Heritage

Created by Philippe Martin, heir to a practice passed down from his father in the heart of the Val-de-Travers, La Valote Martin belongs to a family continuity where gesture and terroir knowledge persist without rupture.

Character

Anise-forward and vegetal, with a firm bitter backbone and layered herbal complexity that unfolds progressively on the palate. Powerful and direct on the attack, evolving into a long, dry finish marked by herbal depth, tension, and persistence.

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

Pairs elegantly with roasted almonds, salted nuts, and refined savory nibbles. The contrast between subtle salinity and herbal complexity enhances aromatic freshness while balancing the palate, making it an ideal companion for aperitif moments.

Interpretation

Absinthe Martin 54% stands as one of the central expressions of the Martin style — an absinthe where the plant reclaims its place, more present and more direct, reflecting a distillation approach that neither softens nor transforms its origins.
