Génépi Bouquetin
Spirits
Chambéry, France
Produced in Chambéry using carefully selected Artemisia genepi and traditional maceration and distillation techniques inherited from the distillery's century-old alpine savoir-faire. Inspired by historic mountain liqueurs once crafted for warmth, conviviality and herbal expression.
Style: Fresh, herbal and elegant, combining alpine bitterness, floral lift and subtle sweetness with a clean, refined structure. More precise and gastronomic than many traditional génépis.
Pairings: Excellent served chilled neat, on ice, in spritz-style cocktails or contemporary herbal cocktail programs. Particularly suited to cocktail bars, mountain-inspired hospitality and premium French restaurant concepts.
Distillerie des Alpes
Chambéry, Savoie, France
Alpine distillery in Chambéry with traditions dating to 1883.
Distillerie des Alpes is based in Chambéry, Savoie, and produces alpine liqueurs and vermouth following traditions dating to 1883, when Philibert Routin documented the original recipe. The distillery's savoir-faire is rooted in alpine botanical culture — the careful selection and maceration of mountain herbs, flowers, and spices. The Génépi Bouquetin is made from Artemisia genepi using traditional maceration and distillation techniques. The Vermouth Dry follows Routin's 1883 recipe, blending 17 to 18 plants, flowers, and spices — including wormwood, rosemary, rose petals, bitter almonds, and juniper berries — macerated over several weeks into a Jacquère and Sauvignon Blanc base wine.
