Vermouth
Languedoc, France
750ml
Frédéric Brouca makes an infinitesimal amount of red, sweet Vermouth from Grenache, Carignan and Terret Blanc. They make it classically by adding neutral spirits produced from his own 1933 Cognac Still. On the side they macerate local botanicals; thyme, rosemary, lavender, rose petals and add some Moroccan Orange peels, local honey and 20% of the microscopic production is aged in barrels outside in the sun for 3 weeks or so to develop some oxidative complexities.
