Born in the House of Villevert’s vineyards, at the heart of the Charente region, a tribute to Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinye, creator of the Versailles’ kitchen gardens and Botanist for the Sun King, Louis XIV. The unique composition of La Quintinye Vermouth Royal is rooted in the distinctive combination of Pineau des Charentes and a selection of fine wines with the botanicals. Pineau des Charentes is the blend of fresh grape juice and Cognac aged in oak barrels for at least a year till it develops its roundness, fullness, and intensity through its aromas, which perfectly balance with the bitterness of the botanicals. La Quintinye Vermouth is based on 12 carefully selected botanicals including Artemisia – an essential ingredient for all Vermouths with Angelica, Cardamom, Cinchona, Citrus Aurantium, Orris roots. It is the inclusion of the rare vine flower and a unique selection of additional aromatic botanicals for each variant, which results in their unique expression and true personality.
