Liqueur, Gentiane, Granier, 24% (70 cl)

A noble mountain plant, difficult to identify and tedious to collect. It is the distilled root that has made the reputation of this eau de vie. For their second liqueur, the Granier brothers wanted to preserve the strong identity of this plant, to express it without artifice, to find this madeleine de Proust of hikers. They have chosen purity through a discreet medium (sugar/alcohol). Respect for the earthy, root-like aromas and bitterness so dear to connoisseurs have been their guiding principle throughout the creation process.

Technique

Characteristics

The story is pretty crazy! During the covid, Vincent Granier, a wine enthusiast, decided to set about creating a local organic liqueur that would be easy to digest and drink at any time of the day or night. In the course of the project, he was joined by his brother Stéphane, a former professional basketball player, and the two of them made their dream come true by creating a range of liqueurs from Haute-Savoie that matched their expectations in every way.

Oenology

An alcohol made from 100% organic wheat grown by harvesters. Natural water from the Boubioz spring on Lake Annecy. Organic sugar produced in the Vosges and Palatine forests. The root of the yellow gentian, cut then dried, is infused in 40% alcohol. Found in the wild in the Alps and Massif Central, it is picked by ‘gençanaïres’ from the ‘sustainable development’ gentian production chain. There are two reasons why you can't become a gençanaïre: firstly, it can only be harvested by authorised pickers using a fork known as the devil's fork; secondly, its look-alike, the white verâtre, grows in the same places, but can be extremely toxic.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Proud of their roots and defenders of their land, they offer this second creation to be consumed as an aperitif, iced as a digestif or in a cocktail. And always in the hiking bag!

Liqueurs Granier

The story is singular, idealistic and a bit crazy: just the way we like it! During the covid, Vincent Granier, a wine enthusiast, decides to create a local organic liqueur that is easy to digest and drink at any time of the day or night. During the course of the project, he was joined by his brother Stéphane, a former professional basketball player, and the two of them made their dream come true by creating a range of liqueurs from Haute-Savoie that corresponded in every way to their expectations. They are produced with alcohol from 100% organic wheat grown by the owners of the harvesters; natural water from the Boubioz spring at Lake Annecy; organic sugar produced in the Vosges and the Palatine forest. And to sign the range, the plants used in the composition are hand-picked by harvesters located in the Alps, as much as possible. When the local card is not possible, they resort to sources that are as close as possible and always organically grown, at the very least. The result is fragrant, fine and easily digestible liqueurs, moderate in alcohol (26°), with an integrated sweetness, which can be drunk as a well-struck aperitif or, of course, as a digestif. A favourite? The gentian, which will undoubtedly make you forget all those you have drunk so far!
