From Forcalquier in Haute-Provence, this vermouth offers a southern French take on aromatized wine, capturing the region's sun-drenched botanicals and herbal complexity. Unlike the vermouths of Chambéry or the Bordeaux-based aperitifs like Lillet, this Provençal vermouth expresses the aromatics of the Mediterranean, resulting in floral elegance, bright citrus, and a complex herbal backbone.
Crafted from a base of white wine, Vermouth de Forcalquier is infused with a selection of locally sourced botanicals, including wormwood, thyme, rosemary, angelica, and bitter orange peel. The result is layers of wild herbs, citrus zest, and a subtle bitterness that lingers on the finish. Unlike heavier, spice-driven Italian vermouths, this version offers a fresher, more aromatic profile.
Best enjoyed chilled over ice with a twist of lemon, Vermouth de Forcalquier also shines in cocktails. It pairs well in a classic Martini, adds depth to a Spritz or Tonic, and provides a uniquely floral lift to a White Negroni or a Provençal-inspired aperitif.
