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 blanche, clear and structured, where power resides in precision rather than apparent flourish.

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 structured balance of fine botanicals and measured bitterness, anchored by fresh anise and regional herbs. The palate is precise and dry, unfolding gradually into a light yet persistent finish. An absinthe designed for depth rather than immediacy.

Impériale

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

Lends itself to delicate pastry creations, in the most discreet of touches. May also be enjoyed alongside dark chocolate.

Interpretation

Impériale stands as the most structured expression within the Herboriste range — dense, precise, and exacting — where Val-de-Travers botanical tradition speaks with authority.
