About Distillerie Meunier

For over 200 years, the house of Charles Meunier has been unique in having Génépy as its principal focus, with its own fields at 1800m in the Savoie. In 1809, Charles Meunier, a botany enthusiast and merchant of colonial products, embarked on a new venture by partnering with Camille Teissere, a maker of Ratafias and liqueurs in Grenoble. Together, they perfected a unique distillate of alpine plants and génépy, leading to the creation of the first Génépy des Alpes. At Meunier, family heritage is deeply cherished, ensuring the preservation of centuries-old craftsmanship through meticulous processes from field to bottle. Since 2021, the distillery has been led by Edouard and Arthur Modelski, the third generation to uphold the tradition and exceptional quality of Meunier. Full details

About Floral/Herbal/Amaro Liqueurs

Inhabitants of Europe's mountainous regions have made liqueurs with local flowers and plants for centuries. These include the fragrant, floral crème de violette as well as herbaceous and bitter liqueurs that started out as elixirs to aid indigestion and other ailments. The latter category includes amaro, meaning "bitter," in Italian. While they began as wine-based digestive aids, most modern amari are composed of spirits (usually neutral spirits), a proprietary mix of herbs and botanicals, and sugar or other natural sweetener. Always appropriate neat or with coffee after a meal, floral, herbal and amaro liqueurs also enliven many contemporary and classic cocktails. Full details
