Suze – Gentian liqueur – 1 L – 15% vol.
An icon of French bitter aperitifs, Suze showcases yellow gentian in a recipe born at the end of the 19th century. Made from infusions and macerations of carefully selected gentian roots, this golden-colored liqueur reveals a unique balance between vegetal freshness, noble bitterness, and measured sweetness. Produced at the historic Thuir site, in the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales, it perpetuates a recognized expertise, designed for aperitifs as well as for contemporary mixology.
On the nose, the gentian expresses itself frankly: rooty notes, citrus zest, and fine herbaceous touches. On the palate, the texture is supple (15% vol.) but carried by a precise and persistent bitterness, refreshed by lemony accents and a spicy hint. The finish, long and clean, leaves a tonic sensation that whets the appetite. Serve chilled, over ice with a lemon zest, or topped up with sparkling water for a light and thirst-quenching version. Its 1-liter format is ideal for serving by the glass and in cocktails.
In cocktails, Suze shines in a Suze & Tonic, a White Negroni (gin, white vermouth, Suze) or a Gentian Spritz with lively effervescence. An authentic, expressive and versatile gentian liqueur, perfect for lovers of bitters as well as for those curious in search of an aperitif with character.
