Génépi d'Armoises is a traditional Alpine herbal liqueur that traces its heritage back to the first alcohol-based liqueurs of Haute Provence, when mountain dwellers added precious herbs from their peaks to create what was once called "eau divine and admirable". This authentic génépi is crafted from sugar cane syrup, an infusion of dry genepi (Artemisia glacialis and/or Artemisia mutellina), genepi spirit, and a carefully balanced infusion of 63 other mountain herbs. The result is a complex, aromatic liqueur with exceptional depth and the distinctive character of the high Alps.

Why You'll Love It

This is Alpine tradition in a bottle. Génépi d'Armoises showcases the rare and protected genepi plant, which grows only at high altitudes in the Alps and has been treasured for centuries for its aromatic and digestive properties. The complex composition of 63 herbs creates layers of flavour that go far beyond simple sweetness, offering a sophisticated drinking experience that's both refreshing and contemplative. Originally considered medicinal, génépi remains the perfect digestif after a hearty meal or a warming spirit for cold evenings.
