The taste of genepi: bitter, floral, intense

A rare plant from the Alps, genepi produces a liqueur with a unique aromatic profile. Here's how to describe and appreciate its unique taste.


Floral and alpine aromas

Genepi releases notes of dried flowers, fine cut, menthol, and sometimes lavender. These natural fragrances come from the slow maceration of the flowers in alcohol, without added flavors.


A characteristic of bitterness

Genepi is recognizable by its subtle bitterness, reminiscent of absinthe or quinine. This bitterness, never harsh, stimulates the taste buds and makes it an excellent digestif.


A rare aromatic intensity

Its power comes not from its alcohol content, but from the concentration of the plant's essential oils. Artisanal génépi offers a persistent and evolving length in the mouth.


How to taste it?

  • Pure and fresh : at the end of a meal, between 6° and 10°C

  • In a cocktail : to add a herbal touch

  • In the kitchen : in a creamy sauce or a fruit-based dessert
